Basia - Third Time Lucky Lyrics

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, 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 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 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 got my plans and brave ambition
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 then try one more time

I know there's a lesson in every fall
So next time I might get it right

[Incomprehensible]

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
But if you have any doubts, try one more time

First one, it's a shock
Second helping, not good enough
