Johnnie Taylor - Next Time Lyrics

Next time I'll be kinder
If I could only find her
I'll tell her that I love her so
And it was foolish of me to let her go

She'll get my apology
Down on bended knees
I'm trying to make her see
I can't stand the misery

When she was here, I cheated and lied
Too busy running and running to stop and realize
Love is just like a flower blooms and fades
It's here today, and tomorrow gone away

I'll beg her to take me back
And that's a matter of fact
This pain and misery
Is a little too much for me, yeah

Next time I'll tell her I love her so
I was so foolish to ever let her go
When she was here, I cheated and lied
I was too busy to stop and realize, yeah

I want her to take me back, uh
And that's a matter of fact
This pain and misery
Is a little too much for me

Ooh, I love her so
Ooh, I'll never let her go
Baby, can't you see that I love ya
I'm always thinkin' of ya
I love ya, love ya, love ya
I'll never put no one above ya
The next time I'll do better, baby, yes, I will
The next time I'll take you in my arms and hold you, oh yeah
Oh man, every place I go
