Verse:
He said you’ve got to get it right this time,
or you're gonna trip on the cracks, and lose your place in line
Get your head out of the sky!

Verse:
With my head up in the clouds, I’m always higher than high
And I suppose, I just know what the devil knows
It just seems so strange, watching you react that way.

Honey, just let it go.
 
CHORUS
Oh I’ve got to get it right, get it right this time
Come on, say it with conviction, any kinda' diction.
You could have picked out anyone, you should have chose the better one,
But you picked this one, you picked me.
 
Verse:
If you could see, a picture of you and me
Near a white house, with a garden on the side
I swear that's me, the proudest mother of three

Put away the darkness of living in an alley, begging for some change.
Go try to feed yourself on pity. I swear you won't get nothing from me.

That’s right. 

CHORUS
Oh I’ve got to get it right, get it right this time
Come on, say it with conviction, any kinda' diction.
You could have picked out anyone, you should have chose the better one,
But you picked this one, you picked me.

Bridge:
Maybe I’ll never ever ever get it right,
Maybe the sun will still shine down on me,
Maybe I’ll soak up its light.
Maybe the two of us will separate, and maybe, just maybe I’ll be fine.
Maybe getting it right, is getting you out of my life.

CHORUS
Oh I’ve got to get it right, get it right this time
Come on, say it with conviction, any kinda' diction.
You could have picked out anyone, you should have chose the better one,
But you picked this one, you picked me.
