I don't have the luxury
Of being Gary or Bobby
My two first cousins
Who committed suicide
They took the easy way out
When they lost control
I just can't do that
I won't take my life
Two out of three ain't bad
Right, Meat Loaf?
Even though sometimes
I'm at the end of my rope
I'm a bat out of hell
When things get rough
Two out of three ain't bad
Right, Meat Loaf?
Now, Gary was a black sheep
In trouble all of his life
Stole my baseball cards
And later killed some dude
But Bobby had charisma
Women all around
Alcohol and women
Were what took him down
Two out of three ain't bad
Right, Meat Loaf?
Even though sometimes
I'm at the end of my rope
I'm a bat out of hell
When things get rough
Two out of three ain't bad
Right, Meat Loaf?
I've been fired from jobs
Been through a divorce
I've seen some hell
But I won't give up
Two out of three ain't bad
Right, Meat Loaf?
Even though sometimes
I'm at the end of my rope
I'm a bat out of hell
When things get rough
Two out of three ain't bad
Right, Meat Loaf?
You can't win 'em all
Right, Meat Loaf?
