Everyone knows this one...........

Next time

If I had spies that knew where you hid
then I’d know just what you did
each time I looked away from your direction.

But since I don’t, I have to assume
that your pretty dress and sweet perfume
Is a sign that you have found a new affection.

Please tell me I’m wrong I’d love to hear
those words flow off your tongue and in to my ear
but your hesitation is confirming my suspicion……

That’s OK I know how it goes
things need fixing’ when they get broke
and as funny as it is, it ain’t no joke
This time……..

If I hade magic finger tips
That eased the pain when I and touched your hair and kissed your lips
Would you still need his affection?

But since I don’t and it seems you do.
Please take away these memories, all these memories
along with your rejection.

That’s OK I know how it is
You got to take some when you give
So I’ll just throw my clothes on now and be living.

That’s OK I know how it goes
Things get rocky when things get old
And as funny as it is, it still leaves me cold
This time………

Next time gonna play it safe
Next time won’t stay out late
The way I see it I’ll just let it be
Next Time……..

I saw a friend the other day, he asked
How you doing? I just had to say....

We make adjustments
I’ll get it right, Next Time
