Overnight Success

[Verse 1]
I wouldn't trade the missteps in my past
The love affairs, that ended up a mess
How else could I have learned enough
For you and me to be an overnight success?

[Verse 2]
I'm glad for every time I've tried my wings
I don't regret a single foolish guess
How else could I have learned enough
For you and me to be an overnight success?

[Chorus]
And oh, what we've found together
Though it might not have gotten off the ground
If we had chosen one another
The very first time around

[Verse 3]
So here's to all the lovely trial balloons
To every jealous pain and silk caress
How else could I have learned enough
For you and me to be an overnight success?

[Chorus]
And oh, what we've found together
Though it might not have gotten off the ground
If we had chosen one another
The very first time around

[Verse 3, repeat]
So here's to all the lovely trial balloons
To every jealous pain and silk caress
How else could I have learned enough
For you and me to be an overnight success?

[Outro]
How else could I have learned
To be an overnight success?
An overnight success...
For every, for every jealous pain
And for every silk caress
All I ever want for you and me
Was to be an all-night success...
An overnight success
Success, success...
