Marie Wilson – Next Time lyrics

(Marie Wilson/Mark Hudson/Jim Vallance)

I heard you knocking on my front door
I know what you wanted to say.
I found the letter you left lying there
I threw it away.

What do you take me for
Some kind of stupid fool
I never asked for much
I only wanted you.
Now I just wanna say, baby
If this is goodbye
Well, it's your turn to cry

Next time
Things will be different, baby
Next time
Everything is gonna change
Next time
Won't be so easy
I swear to God there will never be a next time

I'm not the person I was yesterday
When I wanted you near
There's a part of me that's gone away
Now I see it so clear

What do you want from me
Do you take me for a fool?
Don't wanna live a lie
I only want the truth
Now it's my turn to say baby
If that's the way you treat a friend
This is the end

Next time
Things will be different, baby
Next time
Everything is gonna change
Next time
Won't be so easy
I swear to God there will never be a next time

I finally figured it out
What you're all about
And I think it's a crime
I was wasting my time
Yeah, yeah, yeah

What do you take me for?
Some kind of stupid fool
There ain't no in between
It's only win or lose
Now I just gotta say baby
I'm gonna find somebody new
And it ain't you

Chorus to fade
