Mel Torm — I Wish I Were In Love Again

[Intro: Cleo Laine, Mel Torme, Both] 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--We're bored [Verse 1: Cleo Laine] 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: Mel Torme] The broken dates, the endless waits The lovely loving and the hateful hates The conversation with the flying plates, ha I wish I were in love again [Chorus 1: Both, Cleo Laine] No more pain No more strain Now we're sane, but I would rather be ga-ga [Verse 3: Both] The pulled out fur of cat and cur The fine mismating of a him and her We've learned our lesson and we wish we were In love again [Verse 4: Cleo Laine] The furtive sigh, the blackened eye The words "I love you 'til the day I die" The self-deception that believes the lie I wish I were in love again [Verse 5: Mel Torme] 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: Both, Mel Torme] No despair No more care We're all there, but I would rather be punch-drunk [Verse 6: Both] Believe me, sir, we much prefer The classic battle of a him and her We don't like quiet And we wish we were In love again [Outro: Both] In love In love In love In love In love In love again
