lyrics
Better On The Third Time
Words and music: Michael Waid
I had nothing better to do today
then to sit and write this song
Well, I rewrote it once and toss it twice
but it was better by the third time
chorus:
Well, I tried it once
And I tried it twice
Well, I tried it three times and you know what
It was better on the third time
Ah, Delores was a heart breaker
And Donna she was too
Well, I found a sweet girl
and you know what
It’s better on the third time
chorus:
Well, I tried it once
And I tried it twice
Well, I tried it three times and you know what
It was better on the third time
bridge:
Somethings come easy and some things don’t
Take time to make mistakes
Practice makes perfect and you will find
It’ll all fall in place
Dance lessons on a Friday night
The whole world is looking on
Well, I lost the beat once or twice
but I was stepping by the third time
chorus:
Well, I tried it once
And I tried it twice
Well, I tried it three times and you know what
It was better on the third time
