Third Time Lyrics by Roy Ayers

Virgin Ubiquity II (Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981)

0

Love is so much better the third time around
We won′t make the same mistakes with this new love we found
Taking is so easy, giving is much harder
Some will, some won't, some do, some don′t
Some folks say three strikes you're out
But that ain't what it′s all about
When at first you don′t succeed, try again

Can you try it again?
Come on try it baby
Over and over and over

The first time around, the love I thought I found
Turned out to be a joke on me
The second time was really fine
Up until the day he went away
Some folks say three strikes you're out
But that ain′t what it's all about
When at first you don′t succeed, try again

Come on try it baby
Over and over
Try it again, try it again
Hooooooo

(Love is so much better the third time around)
(We won't make the same mistakes with this new love we found)
(Taking is so easy, giving is much harder)
(Some will, some won′t, some do, some don't)
(Some folks say three strikes you're out)
But that ain′t what it′s all about
When at first you don't succeed, try again

Try it again, try it again
Come on try it baby
Over and over, and over and over and over and over

(Love is so much better the third time around)
So much better
(We won′t make the same mistakes with this new love we found)
Third time around
(Taking is so easy, giving is much harder)
With you
(Some will, some won't, some do, some don′t)
(Some folks say three strikes you're out)
That ain′t what it's all about
When at first you don't succeed, try again

Come on try it, baby
Won′t you try it again?
Over and over, and over

Love is so much better the third time around
We won′t make the same mistakes with this new love we found
Taking is so easy, giving is much harder
Some will, some won't, some do, some don′t
Some folks say three strikes you're out
But that ain′t what it's all about
When at first you don′t succeed, try again
Try it again, try it again
Come on try it baby
Ooo come on baby
Try it again!
(Some do, some don't, some will, some won't)

Oh baby!
Some will
You gotta take a chance, baby!
In your life
Ooo
We won′t make the same mistakes
Ohh
Can you try it again baby?
I don′t wanna scare you baby
Come on try it baby
Hey baby
Hoo oo oo oo oo
Oo baby, oo baby, won't you try it again?
Oo baby, oo baby, won′t you try it again?

Oo baby, oo baby, won't you try it again?
Oo baby, oo baby, hey feels so nice I′ll say it twice
Oo baby, oo baby, oo baby, won't you try it again?
Oo baby, oo baby, oo baby, oo baby
Oo baby oo baby oo baby, oooooo
Hey
Try it again, try it again
Try it again, try it again
