first one--it's a shock
a second helping--not good enough
third time lucky--and you've arrived!
if you have any doubts then try once more...
maybe i was too impressed...
he flattered--i was blushing
he found my _joie de vivre_ so cute and rather touching
himself so upwardly mobile, so cerebral, clever
could i ever live up to his dreams
or would i like to play a part in his scheme?
i don't think so...
i have my plans and brave ambition
knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
so next time i'll get closer
first one--it's a shock
a second helping--not good enough
third time lucky--and you've arrived!
if you have any doubts then try one more time
later i met a boy whose inner life was his true passion
we did connect in an exploratory fashion
he claimed what tie us to this mortal coil we should sever
could i ever live up to his dreams
or would i like to play a part in his scheme?
oh i fear not...
i have my plans and brave ambition
knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
so next time i might get it right
