Have you ever been misunderstood
And you can't take back the things you wish you could?
Have you ever meant to do what's right
But you made things worse than how they were
Before you tried

One! one! Two! two! Three strikes and you're out
When you're not given the benefit of the doubt
All it takes is a few simple mistakes
And before you know
The love that you were given's not allowed
'Cause you're out
Out! out! out!

Have you ever asked for one more chance
To make up for all the promises that passed
Have you recognized all your mistakes
And though you're sorry
All you know is that you're just a little late

One! one! Two! two! Three strikes and you're out
When you're not given the benefit of the doubt
All it takes is a few simple mistakes
And before you know
The love that you were given's not allowed
'Cause you're out
Out! out! out!

When things go wrong when you do right
You feel your heart crash down
And you feel your voice is tied
Though you're screamin' out

That all you need just another chance...

One! one! Two! two! Three strikes and you're out
When you're not given the benefit of the doubt
All it takes is a few simple mistakes
And before you know
The love that you were given's not allowed
Because you're out
Out! out! out!
