I'll Try To Do Better Next Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been sittin' around countin' my blessings
Thinkin' of friends here and gone
Recallin' the smile across somebody's face
Whenever I'd sing her a song

[Chorus]
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
And the Lord knows I really have tried
So I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I have missed
And I'll try to do better next time

[Verse 2]
By next time I might be a preacher
Or an eagle gliding away
I hope that my spirit will make someone happy
When I'm gone to come back again

[Chorus]
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
And the Lord knows I really have tried
So I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I have missed
And I'll try to do better next time

[Chorus]
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
And the Lord knows I really have tried
So I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I missed
And I'll try to do better next time

[Chorus]
The Good Book says "Love everybody"
And the Lord knows I really have tried
I'll throw a kiss to the ones that I missed
And I'll try to do better next time
I'll try to do better next time

I'll try to do better next 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.
