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
