out on the street i was talking 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 complaining don’t you worry don’t you whine
’cause if you get it wrong you’ll get it right next time next time
you got to grow you got to learn by your mistakes
you got to die a little every day 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 hmm
