Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Get It Right Next Time" lyrics


Night OwlRight 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 manHe said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand"You shouldn't worry yes that ain't no crimeCause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
You need direction, yeah you need a nameWhen you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the sameAfter a while you can recognize the signsSo if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
Life is a liar yeah life is a cheatIt'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feetNo use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whineCause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakesYou gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awakeWhen you believe there's no mountain you can climbAnd if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time (next time).
Next time, hmmmmm
