We've got a lot of bad apples, a lot of damn snakes
We need a lot of room, we're gonna make some mistakes
It takes a whole lotta livin' to make us feel at home
Then sit back and watch the garden grow
It takes a lotta lovin' to get things right
It takes a lotta forgivin' to give up the fight
Makes a lotta sense to mend your fence
Then sit back and watch the garden grow
Well back in Paradise it sure was nice
But opportunity it never seemed to knock twice
You got to live and learn
It ain't no sin to try and try again
Well birds and the bees, a lot of bad seeds
We got to get our hands dirty now to pull out the weeds
We got to get right down upon our knees
That's what it takes to make this garden grow
Well you got to understand afterall we're only human
We're doin' the best that we can
Like the flowers and the trees we need a cool breeze
And the care of a Loving Hand
Back in Paradise it sure was nice
But opportunity it never seemed to knock twice
You got to live and learn
It ain't no sin to try and try again
You got to live and learn
It ain't no sin to try and try again
You got to live and learn
It ain't no sin to try and try again
