Things ain't working out so very fine
I seem to be running out of time
I thought I'd won your heart
I thought I'd learned my part
But now I'm back at the start
Still learning my part
Learning my part

Things ain't working out so very fine
You say I keep stepping out of line
Well all I did was say
"I like you every other way!"
Till now it seems I've broke her heart
I'm learning my part
Learning my part

Refrain:
Things ain't working out so very fine
Things ain't working out so very fine

I say "stay" and she just goes away
I say "bye for now" and she says "stay"
I smile at her and she says "why?"
I laugh and she begins to cry
I really don't know where to start
I'm learning my part
Learning my part

Refrain

If I talk she says I talk too much
If I get too close she says "don't touch"
She says I waste my time
And then she says she's mine
I really don't know where to start
Learning my part
Learning my part

Things ain't working out so very fine (6x)
