I Wish I Were In Love Again

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

I'm bored

The sleepless nights, the daily fights

The quick to bargain when you reach the heights

I miss the kisses, and I miss the bite

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 ga-ga

The pulled out fur of cat and cur

The fine mismating 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 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

I don't like quiet

And I wish I were in love again
