Lirieke: Merle Haggard. Better Love Next Time.

(spoken)
Got a call tonight
Sayin' we could still be friends
What a way to say goodbye
What a way to end
They say the darkest hour
Is just before dawn
So I'll just hold my head up
And try to sing my song

Better love next time
Just don't let me lose my mind
All I need's a real friend
To pick me up again
I gotta shake these memories
If there's another chance for me
I'll be lookin' for a sign
Won't someone help me find
A better love next time

I could sit around and hurt forever over you
But in my heart I know you're really gone

There must be a reason for the pain I'm goin' through
Telling me I'm not where I belong

Better love next time
Just don't let me lose my mind
All I need's a real friend
To pick me up again
I gotta shake these memories
If there's another chance for me
I'll be lookin' for a sign
Won't someone help me find
A better love next time

Just as soon as I am strong
I'll be movin' on
To a better love next time
