First one, it's a shock
Second helping, not good enough
Third time lucky and you've arrived
If you have any doubts try once more
Maybe I was too impressed, he flattered, 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've got my plans and brave ambitions
Knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
And 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
But third time lucky and you've arrived
If you have any doubts then try one more time
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
If you have any doubts try once more
Later I met a boy whose inner life was his true passion
We did connect in an exploratory fashion
He claimed, what ties 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?
Ooh, I fear not
I've got my plans and brave ambitions
Knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
I know 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 try one more time
I know there's a lesson in every fall
So next time I might get it right
Come on down here
First one, it's a shock
Second helping, not good enough
But third time lucky and you've arrived
If you have any doubts try one more time
First one, it's a shock
Second helping, not good enough
If you have any doubts try one more time
First one, it's a shock
Second helping, not good enough
You better not try one more time
First one, it's a shock
Second helping, not good enough
