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
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
and i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
so next time i'll get closer
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
and i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
so next time i might get it right
