[Verse 1]
[?], a heart to ignore
They're huffin' and a puffin' like a wolf at your door
Your doctor's all wrong, don't you find that odd?
Your arms too short to make a [?]
You got a chip on your shoulder, that's the size of your boot
[?]
[Chorus]
You better try love instead
Try love instead
'Cause one of these days you're gonna lie down dead
You better try love instead
[Verse 2]
[?]
And they carry you down to the cemetery
Ain't none of your children gonna get [?]
And now you're leaving on a heavenly trip
Singin' "Jesus, Jesus, is a friend of mine!"
Your sweet chеrry has a [?]
If gonna make it past the clouds with your head pokin' through
You'll bе standing on the [?]
[Chorus]
You better try love instead
Try love instead
One of these days you're gonna lie down dead
You better try love instead
Try love instead
Try love instead
One of these days you're gonna lie down dead
You better try love instead
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
It don't make no difference if you change your ways
It's up to you because I know that
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
You better try love instead
Try love instead
One of these days
One of these ol' days
One of these ol' days
Try love instead
Try love instead
One of these days
And it won't be long...
One of these days you're gonna fall down dead (Try love instead)
One of these days
One of these days
Try love instead
