If I could live my life again, knowing now what I knew not then I’d be twice as wise as three wise men - but there ain’t gonna be a next time
I’d come back and be someone else, a real rule breaker who jumps and yells Lifts the roof and raises hell - but there ain’t gonna be a next time
Next time round, I’ll know what to do, dig the score from last time through On a never-ending déjà vu - but there ain’t gonna be a next time
In this life I didn’t take my chance to make the best of circumstance Or grab the good stuff that I found - I’ll be much smarter next time round
Some time soon when it’s time to go, I’ll take a ride on the next bardo Feel the bliss in the afterglow - but there ain’t gonna be a next time
This time round I didn’t have the nerve to speak my mind and declare my love My tongue was tied and my heart was bound - I’ll be much bolder next time round
Next time round I’m gonna fill my cup, find a card game to disrupt Ante in and double up - but there ain’t gonna be a next time
The next time round in the cosmic deal, I’ll jump a level on the karmic wheel Pray the Lord my soul to heal - but there ain’t gonna be a next time - oh no no no no no!
