Let's do it right this time
And not waste one precious day
Accepting invitations from empty obligations that just get in the way
Let's do it right this time
Get our priorities in line
Take time out to discover the joy of one another
Let's do it right this time

When I think of how close we came to throwin' love away
It scares me so to see how fragile love can be
That all I want to do is hold on to you and say

Let's do it right this time
And not waste one precious day
Accepting invitations from empty obligations that just get in the way
Let's do it right this time
Get our priorities in line
Take time out to discover the joy of one another
Let's do it right this time

Let's not waste our second chance
We've learned our lesson well
Love is more than a game
Children change their names
And there's more to know than we can show or tell
Let's do it right this time
And not waste one precious day
Accepting invitations from empty obligations that just get in the way
Let's do it right this time
Get our priorities in line
Take time out to discover the joy of one another
Let's do it right this time
