Not a Second Time Lyrics

You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you yeah
And now you've change your mind
I see no reason to change mine
My crying's through ooh ooh

You were giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then you're back again
Oh no no not a second time

You say you spoke too soon
And now you want to change your tune
Well I do too yeah
You want to try again
I got no reason to pretend
I ain't your fool oh oh

You were giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then you're back again
Oh no no not a second time

Not a second time, not a second time
Not a second time, not a second time

Not a second time, not a second time
Not a second time, not a second time

Not a second time, not a second time
Not a second time, not a second time

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.

Never knew this version of The Beatles classic existed until yesterday. Robert Palmer was a wonderful interpreter of great songs and he and his band do a brilliant job here ☺️
