I Wish I Were In Love Again
Ella Fitzgerald
Intro: 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 conversation 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 punch-drunk The pulled out fur of cat and cur the fine mis-mating of a him and her I’ve learned my lesson but I wish I were in love again The furtive sigh the blackened eye the words "I’ll love you ’til the day I die" The selfdeception that believes the lie I wish I were in love again when love congeals it soon reveals The faint aroma of performing seals the doublecrossing of a pair of heels I wish I were in love again no no more care no no despair Now 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 I don’t like quiet and I wish I were In love again in love again in love again
