[Verse 1]

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 heart breaker

So tell me what's the secret?

When you find love how do you keep it?

I don't wanna settle or end up alone

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

[Chorus]

Do it right the first time

Then you won't have to do it again

It ain't about being perfect

It's just doing the best you can

So when the road gets tough

I remembеr what she said

If you do it right the first time

Thеn you won't have to do it again

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Do it right the first time

Then you won't have to do it again

It ain't about being perfect

It's just doing 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

I say you won't, you won't you won't have to do it again

[Bridge]

Someday I'll have a family

And I get to be the one

When they ask me what's the secret

I'll pass the message on

[Chorus]

Do it right the first time

Then you won't have to do it again

It ain't about being perfect

It's just doing the best you can

So when the road gets tough

Just remember what I said

Gotta do it right the first time

'Cause you don't get to do it again

Yeah yeah

'Cause you don't get to do it again
