Next Time
One too many days I've felt forgotten
And one too many nights I've slept alone
And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten
I tell myself I'll try a little harder next time
Oh, next time
Sacred are the ties that love entrusts us
Even if they fray before they bind
And I'm afraid I never did you justice
So I'm going to feel my love a little stronger
Make it last a little longer next time
Oh, next time
Well next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees
And come out of love empty-handed
But next time I'll be even harder to please
Oh when will the next time be
When will the next time be?
Well next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees for nobody
And come out of love empty-handed
But next time I'll be even harder to please
Oh when will the next time be?
When will the next time be?
One too many days I've felt forgotten by you
And one too many nights I've slept alone
And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten
I tell myself I'll try a little harder
Play my cards a little smarter next time
Oh next time
