IF PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
(Larry Gatlin)

Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Bros. - 1977
Johnny Rodriguez - 1977


How do I look leaving
It must be welded into your mind
And If practice makes perfect
Then I'm leaving you perfect this time

Over and over and over again
I have tried to do right by you
But over and over the things I do
Just prove to be over and over untrue

But I'll take blame and I'll bear the shame
It's not your fault, no darling, it's mine
And if practice makes perfect
Then I'm leaving you perfect this time

So how do I look leaving
It  must be welded into your mind
And If practice makes perfect
Then I'm leaving you perfect this time

And If practice makes perfect
Then I'm leaving you perfect this time
