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.



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.



Chorus

Next time

I ain't gonna fall on my

knees

And come out of love

emptyhanded.

But next time I'll be

even harder to please

When will the next time

be?



Repeat Chorus



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

Play my cards a little

smarter

Next time.

wo-hoh-NEXT TIME
