Lyrics

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 yes 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, hmmmmm
