Can't Do It Wrong
Ringo Starr · Y Not [2010]
Sometimes I walk and I don't know the way
Don't have a map but I can't be afraid to go on
'Cause as long as I am doing it I can't do it wrong
I hear the birds when I open my eyes
It sounds like music, it's part of my life, is a song
And as long as I am singing it I can't sing it wrong
We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes
When I'm honest here's what I found
Love is the answer and the answer is coming on strong
As long as I am giving it I can't give it wrong
We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes
So look around, it's never gonna be too late
To open up your heart, it's easy, you don't have to wait
We can't get nowhere if we're all standing still
And when the chips are down you know that we will carry on
As long as we're doing it we can't do it wrong
They will all carry on 'cause as long
as we're doing it we can't do it wrong
Don't have a map but I can't be afraid to go on
'Cause as long as I am doing it I can't do it wrong
I hear the birds when I open my eyes
It sounds like music, it's part of my life, is a song
And as long as I am singing it I can't sing it wrong
We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes
When I'm honest here's what I found
Love is the answer and the answer is coming on strong
As long as I am giving it I can't give it wrong
We think sometimes the choices that we make
Will break our hearts but there are no mistakes
So look around, it's never gonna be too late
To open up your heart, it's easy, you don't have to wait
We can't get nowhere if we're all standing still
And when the chips are down you know that we will carry on
As long as we're doing it we can't do it wrong
They will all carry on 'cause as long
as we're doing it we can't do it wrong
