You don’t know that I felt good
When we up and parted.
You don’t know I knocked on wood
Gladly broken-hearted.
Worrying is through, I sleep all night
Appetite and health restored.
You don’t know how much we’re bored
The sleepless nights,
The daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
The broken dates,
The endless waits,
The lovely loving and the hateful hates,
The conversations with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again
No more pain
No more strain
Now I’m sane but …
I would rather be gaga
The pulled-out fur
Of cat and cur
The fine mismating of a him and her
We’ve learned our lesson, but
We wish we were in love again
The furtive sigh
The blackened eye,
The words “I’ll love you till the day I day”
The self-deception that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again
When love congeals
It soon reveals
The faint aroma of performing seals
The double-crossing of a pair of heels.
I wish I were in love again
No more care
No despair
I’m all there now
But I’d rather be punch-drunk
Believe me sir
I much prefer
The classic battle of a him and her.
We don’t like quiet and
We wish we were in love again
