Get It Right Next Time

Out on the street I was talkin' to a man He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand" You shouldn't worry I said that ain't no crime Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time. You need direction, yeah you need a name When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same After a while you can recognize the signs So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time. Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet No use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whine Cause if you get it wrong you'll 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 there's no mountain you can climb And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time. Next time, you-hum
