I Wish I Were in Love Again Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

You don′t know that I felt good
When we up and parted
You don't know I knocked on wood
Gladly broken-hearted

Worrying is through, I sleep all night
Appetite and health restored
You don′t know how much
I'm bored

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
The quick to bargain when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses, and I miss the bite
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 ga-ga

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 'til the day I die"
The self-deception 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
