I Wish I Were In Love Again 1937 "Babes In Arms"

You don't know that I felt good
when we up and parted.
You don't know I knocked on wood,
gladly brokenhearted.
Worrying is through,
I sleep at night,
appetite and health restored.
You don't know how much I'm bored!

The sleepless night,
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 gaga!
The pulled out fur
of cat and cur,
the fine mismating 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 till the day I die,"
the selfdeception
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 more care,
no despair.
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!
