Barry Manilow - I Can't Get Started Lyrics






I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revalations in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
Still I can't get started with you
On the golf course, I'm under par
And Metro Golden's asked me to star
I've got a house, a show place
Still I can't get no place with you
Cause you're so supreme
Lyrics I write of you
I dream, dream night and day of you
And I steam just for the sight of you
Baby what good does it do
I've been counsulted by Franklin D
And Greta Garbo gave me her key
Still I'm broken hearted
Cause I can't get started with you
In 1929 I sold short
In England I'm presented a cord
But you've got me down hearted
Cause I can't get started with you

    Nice, very nice version by Barry Manilow. Agreed, nice tribute to Bunny Berrigan. I grew up hearing all music stories and the artists who performed them. My father was a drummer back in the late 40's, never famous, however he used to "jam" in clubs. Thank you.

  12. j.... b....

    Beautiful song

  13. N.... ....

    I listen over and over again and this rendition of this song could never be done any better. Barry tells the story and the trumpet....unreal....great that he did not modernize the lyrics

    N.... ....

    I like this version because Barry definitely has better vocals than Bunny. But Bunny's orchestra and trumpeting made up for it. Both bands played great, but something about the original sounds better to me for some reason. This version is mellow. Berigan's is a bit louder with the instruments and slightly faster paced.

    But in the end, this is a worthy remake that somewhat exceeds the original song in several ways. Also, RIP Bunny Berigan.

  14. J.... C....

  20. C.... H....

    Who is the trumpet player?

  21. k.... ....

    There are those that are just jealous of Barry love you Barry

  22. g.... ....

    Great song.  I love the trumpet solo. Too bad Bunny Berigan drank so much.

  23. R.... R....

    According to online sources, the session for this track was conducted and arranged by Dick Hyman, a veteran pianist of the swing era. This is, of course, a stunning homage to the great trumpet man, Bunny Berigan, and based nearly note for note on his 1937 Victor recording, which was an instant hit. Trumpet player on this recording with Manilow is Warren Leuning.

  24. C.... K....

    How the fuck dose this song have some dislikes. This shit is awesome.

    C.... K....

    Maybe because you call it shit and folks believe you.

    I've flown around the world in a plane
    I've settled revolutions in Spain
    And the North Pole I have charted
    Still I can't get started with you

    On the golf course, I'm under par
    Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star
    I've got a house, a showplace
    Still I can't get no place with you

    'Cause you're so supreme
    Lyrics I write of you, I dream
    Dream day and night of you
    And I scheme just for the sight of you
    Baby, what good does it do?

    I've been consulted by Franklin D
    Greta Garbo has had me to tea
    Still I'm broken-hearted

    'Cause I can't get started with you

    �.... ....

    레인태일 Barry Manilow’s version is Greta Garbo gave me her key

    �.... ....

    @Aaron Wood And he forgot to mention the extra lyrics in the ending too. But eh, the lyrics are still close enough. He probably posted this when editing comments wasn't a thing yet.

  30. �.... ....

    i love USA!!!!!!

  31. H.... ....

    He ain't Bunny B , but he is good!!!!!!

  32. s.... k....

    I mean, the trumpet !

  33. s.... k....

    I'm not fan of Barry Manilow, but he surprise me with this song and the big band behind. Also, who plays that ? Is great !
