"T-Bone" Burnett
Not In This Life
[Verse 1]
Lately I've been walking all alone
Through the wind and through the rain
Been walking through the streets
And finding sweet relief in knowing that it won't be long
[Verse 2]
Lately it's occurred to me
That I've had enough of that
And lately I've been satisfied by simple things
Like breathing in and breathing out
[Chorus]
Never again, not in this life
Will I be taken twice
Never again, not on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
[Verse 3]
Lately it's occurred to me
Exactly what went wrong
I realized I compromised, I sacrificed
Far too much for far too long
[Chorus]
Never again, no, not in this life
Will I be taken twice, no no no
Never again, no, never on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
[Bridge]
Starting out from here today
Swear I'm gonna change my ways
Once mistaken in this life
But never never never never twice
[Chorus]
Never again, not in this life
Will I be taken twice, no no no
Never again, no, never on your life
Will I make that same mistake
Never make it twice, no no no
Never again, no, never on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
[Outro]
Starting out from here today
Swear I'm gonna change my way
Starting out from here today
Swear I'm gonna change my way
Gonna change my way
Never again, no never again
No never again in this life
Gonna make that same mistake
Gonna make it twice
Never again, no never again
No never, on your life
Gonna make that same mistake
Gonna make it twice
