Get It Right Next Time - Gerry Rafferty

I don't believe in first impressions For just this once I hope that looks don't deceive I ain't got time for true confessions I've got to make the move right now Got to meet that girl somehow Get it right the first time That's the main thing oh oh oh I can't afford to let it pass Get it right the next time that's not the same thing oh oh Gonna have to make the first time last La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la lo La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la I'm not much good at conversation I never was too smooth at comin' on real strong If all it takes is inspiration Then I might have just what it takes If I don't make no bad mistakes and I Get it right the first time That's the main thing Can't afford to let it pass Get it right the next time That's not the same thing oh oh Have to make the first time last La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la lo La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la I might find the courage yeah I might get up the nerve But if my timing ain't just right what purpose would it serve? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how To say those first few words If I want to put myself in touch The first few moments mean so much I suppose it's now or never Before that woman walks right out of my life Just let me pull myself together I've got to give it one good try Gotta take my chance tonight Get it right the first time That's the main thing I can't afford to let it pass Get it right the next time That's not the same thing oh oh Gonna have to make the first time last La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la lo La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Wind on the fields blowin' your hair We were cold, we were cold, we were cold We were cold, hand to hold, hand to hold Come to the hill, got a nest to build String and grass, string and grass, string and grass String and grass, be the past, be the past Climb up to the clouds, tops of the trees Little road, little road, little road Little road, come and go, come and go River dam, lake fills up the land Skippin' stones, skippin' stones, skippin' stones Skippin' stones, build a home, build a home Cold outside, warm by the fire Get it wrong, get it wrong, get it wrong Get it right, get it right, get it righ

Night comes down and finds you alone In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows Down the street the neon light shines Offering refuge and hope to the blind You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end up looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no Oh no, no, no No, no, no, no The lights are low and the Muzak is loud You watch yourself as you play to the crowd One more face in a palace of mirrors One more drink, you're sailing away One more dream but it's looking okay One more time to watch the flow of the river Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end up looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no Oh no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end up looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no Oh no, no, no No, no, no, no You've seen it all, yeah you've seen it before Like a fool you always come back for more You live your life like there was no more tomorrow Night comes down and finds you alone In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadow Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end up looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no Oh no, no, no Oh no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no No, no Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
