---------------------------------------------------
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 punch-drunk
The pulled out fur of cat and
cur
The fine mis-mating 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 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
heels
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
