Got a Sunday phone call from my mom
Swear she always knows when something's wrong
Yeah we looked good on paper
Turns out I'm just a heartbreaker
So tell me what's the secret
When you find love, how do you keep it
I don't wanna settle or end up alone
She said I'm no expert but here's what I know
Do it right the first time
And you won't have to do it again
It ain't about being perfect
It's just doin' the best you can
So when the road gets tough
I'll remember what she said
If you do it right the first time
Then you won't have to do it again
Showed up ay my grandaddy's door
Said I know I don't come around anymore
But yeah, you got some years on me
And now I'm all ears I promise
Tell me what's the secret
And do you have any regrets
Seventy-five years and still so in love
How'd you not give up
And he said
Do it right the first time
And you won't have to do it again
It ain't about being perfect
It's just doin' the best you can
So when the road gets tough
I'll remember what she said
If you do it right the first time
Then you won't have to do it again
Some day I'll have a family
And I'll get to be the one
When they ask me what's the secret
I'll pass the message on
Do it right the first time
And you won't have to do it again
It ain't about being perfect
It's just doin' the best you can
So when the road gets tough
Just remember what I said
Just do it right the first tiii-ime
'Cause you don't get to do it again
Yeah, you do it
'Cause you don't get to do it again
