One too many days
Ive felt forgotten
And one too many nights
Ive slept alone.
And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten
I tell myself Ill try a little harder
Next time.
Sacred are the ties
That love entrusts us
Even if they fray
Before they bind
And Im afraid I never
Did you justice
So Im going to feel my
Love a little stronger
Make it last a little longer
Next time.
(chorus)
Next time
I aint gonna fall on my knees
And come out of love emptyhanded.
But next time Ill be even harder to please
When will the next time be?
(repeat chorus)
One too many days
Ive felt forgotten
And one too many nights Ive slept alone.
And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten
I tell myself Ill try a little harder
Play my cards a little smarter
Next time.
Wo-hoh-next time
