Get It Right Next Time lyrics

Night Owl
Right Down the Line (Compilation)
One More Dream (Compilation)
Clowns to the Left, Jokers to the Right (Compilation)

Out on the street I was talkin to a man
He said "theres so much of this life of mine that I dont understand"
You shouldnt worry yes that aint no crime
Cause if you get it wrong youll get it right next time (next time).

You need direction, yeah you need a name
When youre standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same
After a while you can recognize the signs
So if you get it wrong youll get it right next time (next time).

Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat
Itll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet
No use complainin, dont you worry, dont you whine
Cause if you get it wrong youll get it right next time (next time).

You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes
You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake
When you believe theres no mountain you can climb
And if you get it wrong youll get it right next time (next time).

Next time, hmmmmm
