Next Time

Next Time

Baby I’m
I’m tired of bein’ used
Had enough of you
No way
Not letting you break my heart, no more

Don’t mess
Don’t mess
Don’t mess with me

I’ve been there seen it done it
I ain’t havin’ it
You see
You broke the rules
I thought you were cool
Sorry baby
But I’m not a fool

Baby I
I kept thinkin’ it was all fine
Tried to believe you were right
But you just wasted my time
And now
Now it’s over
And I am
Much wiser than before
Iiiiiii I am
Yes I am much wiser than before

Next time
I will take a minute to
Think before I do
No more runnin’
After you
And next time
I will put me first not you
It ain’t selfish if I do
If I’m going to love you

I’ve had
I’ve had
I have had my share
I was too open
Way too trustin’
Not goin’ there
I got burned
Now I have learned
How to forgive
But it’s hard to forget

I gave the best of my love
Gave my heart and soul
But you disrespected me
You thought you were gold
And it’s over now
And I am
Much wiser than before

Next time
I will take a minute to
Think before I do
No more runnin’
After you
And next time
I will put me first not you
It ain’t selfish if I do
If I’m going to love you
Love,love, love

Next time
I won’t play your silly games
I won’t take the blame
No more runnin’
After you
Just pay attention to me
And next time
I will put me first not you
It ain’t selfish if I do
If I’m going to love you

I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
Disrespected me
I thought you were gold
I’m tired of games
I’m tired of lies
But I have to survive

Oh I
I gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
You disrespected me
Thought you were gold
No more games
And no more lies
But I have to survive

So pay attention to me
‘Cause I won’t step to you sweet
Next time
Just pay attention to me
‘Cause I won’t step to you sweet
Next time

Uh huh
Uh huh
Pay attention
‘Cause I won’t step to you sweet
No more games just stop wastin’ my time
Next time

Next time
I will take a minute to
Think before I do
No more runnin’
After you
And next time
I will put me first not you
It ain’t selfish if I do
If I’m going to love you
