"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 could never be"
Because there ain't gonna be no next time for me . .

Instrumental verse

I would 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 could never be
Because there ain't gonna be no next time for me . .
There ain't gonna be no next time for me . .
