Better Luck Next Time

Judy Garland · Other Songs - Judy Garland

Spoken by Mike, the bartender:



For ev'ry rose that withers and dies



Another blooms in it's stead.



A new love waits to open its eyes



After the old love is dead.



Sung by Hannah:



That sounds alright in a careless rhyme



But there's seldom a second time



Better luck next time



That could never be



Because there ain't gonna be no next time



for me - no siree



Made up my mind



To make another start



I've made my mind up but I can't make up



my heart



I'd like a new lucky day



That would be nice



But this comes just once in a lifetime



not twice



So don't say better luck next time



That can never be



Because there ain't gonna be no next time



for me.
