Get It Right Next Time - Gerry Rafferty

Get It Right Next Time
Gerry Rafferty


    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, u-hum
