first of all i apologise if this has been asked b4 or if it is such a easy question, i'm new to this meat loaf stuff, since last wekkend actually!

in the song 2 outta 3, what does 2 outta 3 have to do with spliting up with someone. as far as i can see the only relevence, is that he sings about 3 ppl: himself, the ex he never stopped lovin and the new ex!

once again sry if its a easy question to answr!

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

get it now?

No need to apologise! We all have to start somewhere.

The song could be about splitting up with someone, or it could be a rejection (without ever having gotten to the relationship stage).

I think he is saying, in a platonic way, that he needs and wants this new person (two things), but he won't love the new person (a third thing) because of the person he loved long ago.

so that means she has 2 outta 3....he wants her(1) and needs her(2) but aint gonna love her(3)

I don't think it's at all platonic thou'
