Next Time - Johnnie Taylor

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

Lord,

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 that

I want her to take me back

And that’s a matter of fact

This pain and misery

Is a little too much for me

Ooh, I love ya so

Ooh, I’ll never let ya go

Whatever it takes to see that I love ya

I’m always thinking of ya

I love ya, I love ya, love ya

The next time I’ll do better, baby, yes I will

The next time I’ll take it in my, oh yeah

Oh man, every place I go
