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 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
I've learned my lesson but I wish I were
In love again

The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
The words: "I 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

No more pain, no more strain
Now I'm sane, but I would rather be gaga
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
