Do It Right The First Time Lyrics

Do It Right The First Time - Shaylen

...

Got a Sunday phone call from my mom

Swear she always knows when something's wrong

Yeah, we looked good on paper

Turns out I'm just a heartbreaker

So tell me, what's the secret?

When you find love how do you keep it?

I don't want to settle or end up alone

She said, I'm no expert but here's what I know

Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again

It ain't about bein' perfect, it's just doin' the best you can

So when the road gets tough, I remember what she said

If you do it right the first time

Then you won't have to do it again

Showed up at my granddaddy's door

Said, I know I don't come around anymore

But yeah, you got some years on me

And now I'm all ears, I promise

Tell me, what's the secret?

And do you have any regrets?

Seventy-five years and still so in love

How'd you not give up? And he said

Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again

It ain't about bein' perfect, it's just doin' the best you can

So when the road gets tough, I remember what he said

"If you do it right the first time

Then you won't have to do it again

Someday I'll have a family

And I'll get to be the one

When they ask me what's the secret?

I'll pass the message on

Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again

It ain't about bein' perfect, it's just doin' the best you can

So when the road gets tough, just remember what I said

Got to do it right the first time

'Cause you don't get to do it again (yeah)

'Cause you don't get to do it again
