Third Time Lucky

Third Time Lucky - Basia

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
