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

Better luck next time
That could never be
Because there ain't gonna be no next time for me
No, siree<br />
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
