I Wish I Were in Love Again - Carmen McRae

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 heals

I wish I were in love again

No more care

No despair

I'm all there

But I'd rather be punched 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

I'm all sane

But I'd rather be punched drunk

The pulled out fur of cat and cur

The fine mismatching of a him and her

I've learned my lesson

But I wish I were in love

I wish I were in love

I wish I were in love

Again
