Don't Happen Twice Lyrics

I haven't seen you in forever
Oh you haven't changed a bit
You didn't think that I'd remember
How could I forget

We sang Bobby McGee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear September sky
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
Three am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
Oh that's something that just don't happen twice

To this day I still taste that first kiss
How I prayed it wouldn't end
In a way, seeing you like this
I guess it never really did

We sang Bobby McGee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear September sky
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
Three am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
That's something that just don't happen twice
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
Three am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
Oh that's something, baby that's something
Oh that's something
That just don't happen twice
Oh yeah
We sang Bobby McGhee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
Whoaoooo, One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups

Yeah we fell in love

The Good Stuff

Who You'd be Today

Better As A Memory

I haven't seen you in forever 
Oh you haven't changed a bit 
You didn't think that I'd remember 
How could I forget

We sang Bobby McGee on the hood of my car 
Made a wish on every star 
In that clear September sky 
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups 
Three am I fell in love 
For the first time in my life 
Oh that's something that just don't happen twice

To this day I still taste that first kiss 
How I prayed it wouldn't end 
In a way, seeing you like this 
I guess it never really did

We sang Bobby McGee on the hood of my car 
Made a wish on every star 
In that clear September sky 
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups 
Three am I fell in love 
For the first time in my life 
That's something that just don't happen twice 
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups 
Three am I fell in love 
For the first time in my life 
Oh that's something, baby that's something 
Oh that's something 
That just don't happen twice 
Oh yeah 
We sang Bobby McGhee on the hood of my car 
Made a wish on every star 
Whoaoooo, One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups

Yeah we fell in love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"3 am I fell in love". Great timing to look at your watch when you realise something like that...

"To this day I still taste that first kiss" - that's just brilliant. Who doesn't have a certain kiss in their memory that they'll tast forever?
