Joni Mitchell — I Wish I Were in Love Again

[Verse 1] The sleepless nights, 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 [Verse 2] The broken dates, the endless waits The lovely loving and the hateful hates The conversations with the flying plates I wish I were in love again [Chorus 1] No more pain No, no more strain Now I'm sane But I'd rather be punch drunk [Verse 3] The flying 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 again [Verse 4] The furtive sigh, the blackened eye The words I love you 'til the day I die The self-deception that believes that lie I wish I were in love again [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus 2] No more care No more despair Now I'm all there But I'd rather be punch drunk [Verse 6] 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 In love again
