I wish I could have given you Everything you need The power to believe The stuff that sets you free
I wish I was the answer to everything you want Shelter from the storm, somewhere to belong It's not easy to make dream come true I know So this much I wish for you before you go
Better luck next time, baby For all eternity even if it's not with me I wish you all that love could be Maybe the next time, baby the sun will wanna shine Seek and you will find, better luck next time
I hope you find someone to give you What I couldn't give Though I just can't imagine What that something is
I hope you wake up every day With roses at your door Someone to live for A heart that knows for sure But if I can't be the one to hold your hand No sense stopping you If there's someone who can
Better luck next time, baby For all eternity Even if it's not with me I wish you all that love could be
Better luck next time, baby The sun is gonna shine Seek and you will find Better luck (Better luck next time)
I wanna see you walk away with someone else Wanna keep you here all to myself Believe me if I could I would (Believe me if I could I would)
Gonna take a lot of love to let you go But anyone who ever loved like this would know Oh they would know (Next time, baby, I hope that's what you get)
I hope that's what you get (Remember me with no regrets Live in peace and happiness) Better luck next time, baby
Somewhere down the line Seek and you will find Better luck next time (Next time, next time)

People must prove to the people A better day is coming But you wait for me oh yeah, yeah Alright, alright, alright, then he said
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Could you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin
People must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education With love for our nation will make a better society
Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss Than to bring about a little trust But we shall overcome our beliefs someday If you will only listen to what I have to say
How long have you hated your white teacher Who told you to love your black preacher Can you respect your brother's woman friend And share with black folks not of kin
I'm telling you, people must prove to the people A better day is coming for you and for me And with a little bit more education And love for our nation will make a better society
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers If there were no day or night Which would you prefer to be right
If you had a choice of colors Which one would you choose my brothers
