Better Love Next Time Lyrics - Singles - Merle Haggard

(spoken) 

Got a call tonight 

Sayin' we could still be friends 

What a way to say goodbye 

What a way to end 

They say the darkest hour 

Is just before dawn 

So I'll just hold my head up 

And try to sing my song 

Better love next time 

Just don't let me lose my mind 

All I need's a real friend 

To pick me up again 

I gotta shake these memories 

If there's another chance for me 

I'll be lookin' for a sign 

Won't someone help me find 

A better love next time 

I could sit around and hurt forever over you 

But in my heart I know you're really gone 

There must be a reason for the pain I'm goin' through 

Telling me I'm not where I belong 

Better love next time 

Just don't let me lose my mind 

All I need's a real friend 

To pick me up again 

I gotta shake these memories 

If there's another chance for me 

I'll be lookin' for a sign 

Won't someone help me find 

A better love next time
