Lyrics

Better Safe Than Sorry
© 2011 Steve Rapson

Better safe than sorry
Your mother said to you
Try too hard to play it safe
You might be sorry, too

Did you ever see a pretty girl
And wished you'd said "Hello"?
But safer not to take a chance
And so you watched her go.

Better safe than sorry
That's what people say
Safe is temporary
Sorry always stays

There's a risk in everything
So we pick and choose
If we never step into the ring
We never win or lose

Better safe than sorry
No matter what you do
Try to hard to play it safe
You'll end up sorry, too

Better safe than sorry
Sorry always stays
Better safe than sorry
Sorry always stays
