Next Time Lyrics by Johnnie Taylor

The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968

0

[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
