Third Time Lucky

                                  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
