You Ain't Doin' It Right Lyrics - Times Like These - Buddy Jewell

I was comin' off of a heartache 

Addin' up all my mistake you know how it is 

An' I was beatin' up myself up real good 

Over all those shoulda coulds but never dids 

An' I could lose myself in myself pity 

But I done that an' that ain't pretty 

An' somewhere in this mess I've made 

Is my philosophy 

That if you don't jump every chance you get 

Roll a dice an' run some risks 

If you don't fall, then how you ever gonna fly? 

An' if you don't break an' you don't bruise 

If you don't look back an' laugh at one or two 

Wrong moves in your life 

Yeah, you ain't doin' it right 

I've been flush an' flat broke 

Made some lousy bets, but that's okay, yeah that's all right 

'Cause never gamblin', never losin' 

Is a sorry substitution for livin' life 

Yeah, I've got scars that I'm proud of 

I've been down but I got up 

An' the only thing I know about love is 

There ain't no guarantees 

So if you don't jump every chance you get 

Roll a dice an' run some risks 

If you don't fall, then how you ever gonna fly? 

An' if you don't break an' you don't bruise 

If you don't look back an' laugh at one or two 

Wrong moves in your life 

Yeah, you ain't doin' it right 

So go ahead an' put the bow to the fiddle 

Pick you a spot an' jump in the middle 

Love just a little 

Then love just a little more 

If you don't jump every chance you get 

Roll a dice an' run some risks 

If you don't fall, then how you ever gonna fly? 

And if you don't break an' you don't bruise 

And if you don't look back an' laugh at one or two 

Wrong moves in your life 

Yeah, you ain't doin' it right 

You ain't doin' it right
