Attainable love
He's not eighteen
He's not twenty-five
He's closing in on forty
Look at those eyes
He's searching for something
He can not describe
He's not unhappy
He's not satisfied.
He falls in love with covers of slick magazines
With serious actresses
On the screen
All are unattainable except in his dreams
Where his heart and his soul reside.
'Cuz he is afraid of Attainable Love
Afraid it will envelop him, swallow him up
All of his life he has resisted the tug
Of Attainable Love
Attainable Love
His dance card is full
He's so much in demand
He gets nervous when his partners try to hold his hand
He's got to keep his options open
He's that kind of man
The girls he cha-cha's with never understand.
They wonder if he's gay
But the truth is he's not
He just won't settle for whatever it is he's got
They want to Tango
He want's to Fox Trot
Don't even think about the Can-Can
He can't can't.
'Cuz he is afraid of Attainable Love
Afraid it will envelop him - swallow him up
All of his life he has resisted the tug
Of Attainable Love
Attainable Love.
Add me to the list of women
Who think you'll be different with me
Add me to the list of fools
Who flatly refuse to see
That just like me....
He is afraid of Attainable Love
Afraid it will envelop him - swallow him up
All of his life he has resisted the tug
Of Attainable Love
Attainable
He is afraid of Attainable Love
Afraid it will envelop and swallow him up
All of his life he has resisted the tug
Of Attainable Love
Attainable
All of his life he has resisted the tug-aca
Amor alcanzable
No tiene dieciocho
No tiene veinticinco
Se está acercando a los cuarenta
Mira esos ojos
Está buscando algo
Que no puede describir
No está infeliz
No está satisfecho.
Se enamora de las portadas de revistas elegantes
De actrices serias
En la pantalla
Todas son inalcanzables excepto en sus sueños
Donde reside su corazón y su alma.
Porque le teme al Amor Alcanzable
Teme que lo envuelva, lo devore
Toda su vida ha resistido la atracción
Del Amor Alcanzable
Amor Alcanzable
Su agenda de baile está llena
Está muy solicitado
Se pone nervioso cuando sus parejas intentan tomar su mano
Debe mantener sus opciones abiertas
Es ese tipo de hombre
Las chicas con las que baila chachachá nunca entienden.
Se preguntan si es gay
Pero la verdad es que no lo es
Simplemente no se conforma con lo que tiene
Quieren tango
Él quiere foxtrot
Ni siquiera piensen en el can-can
Él no puede, no puede.
Porque le teme al Amor Alcanzable
Teme que lo envuelva, lo devore
Toda su vida ha resistido la atracción
Del Amor Alcanzable
Amor Alcanzable.
Agrégame a la lista de mujeres
Que piensan que serás diferente conmigo
Agrégame a la lista de tontos
Que se niegan rotundamente a ver
Que al igual que yo...
Él le teme al Amor Alcanzable
Teme que lo envuelva, lo devore
Toda su vida ha resistido la atracción
Del Amor Alcanzable
Amor Alcanzable
Él le teme al Amor Alcanzable
Teme que lo envuelva y lo devore
Toda su vida ha resistido la atracción
Del Amor Alcanzable
Amor Alcanzable
Toda su vida ha resistido la atracción
