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
