Measure twice, cut once, heard that a time or two Funny how life don't work that way.. for me and you Some mistakes you can't put back together no matter what Seems not to matter how much you pray… you got what you got Chorus: Why in the heck should we measure twice Didn’t we always get it right? Seems like a waste of time always checking the tape I can remember....minds a trap....can’t escape Who You think your foolin’ with that line Go back and measure one more time Verse 1: Twenty years old and knowin' it all Never thought I'd stumble, never thought I'd fall Swingin' hard and movin' fast Never thinkin' some choices last Chorus: Why in the heck should we measure twice Didn’t we always get it right? Seems like a waste of time always checking the tape I can remember....minds a trap.... can’t escape Who You think your foolin’ with that line Go back and measure one more time Verse 2: Stop telling me what to do in my love life I understand, don’t really need advice My words can cut sharp like a blade Second measure needed,,,on the choices I made Chorus: Why in the heck should we measure twice Didn’t we always get it right? Seems like a waste of time always checking the tape I can remember....minds a trap.... can’t escape Who You think your foolin’ with that line Go back and measure one more time Bridge: It's the moments I rushed right through Thinkin' tomorrow would wait on me too Funny how the older I get the things I wonder I should stop, measure twice… take time to ponder Closing Verse 3: Starting to see the wisdom in my years of mistakes Learning by doing sometimes is what it takes I know some young buck is going to shake his head Measure twice buddy, listen to what I said Chorus: Why in the heck should we measure twice Didn’t we always get it right? Seems like a waste of time always checking the tape I can remember....minds a trap.... can’t escape Who You think your foolin’ with that line Go back and measure one more time Go Back Measure One More Time
