I Wish I Were in Love Again
Bobby Short
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 punched, drunk
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 day"
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 heals
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
