[Verse:]
|
"For ev'ry rose that withers and dies
|
Another blooms in its stead
|
A new love waits to open its eyes
|
After the old love is dead"
|
That sounds all right in a careless rhyme
|
But there's seldom a second time
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Better luck next time
|
That could never be
|
Because there ain't gonna be no next time for me
|
No, siree
|
|
Made up my mind to make another start
|
I've made my mind up but I can't make up my heart
|
|
I'd like a new lucky day
|
That would be nice
|
But this comes just once in a lifetime
|
Not twice
|
|
So don't say
|
Better luck next time
|
That can never be
|
Because there ain't gonna be no next time for me
|

Better Luck Next Time
