Third Time Lucky Lyrics

Artist: Basia
Album: The Sweetest Illusion

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 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, 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 have my plans and brave ambition
knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd 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
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
knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd i'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
so next time i might get it right
