One too many days
I've felt forgotten
And one too many nights
I've slept alone

And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten
I tell myself I'll try a little harder next time
Next time

Sacred are the ties
That love entrusts us
Even if they fray
Before they bind

And I'm afraid I never did you justice
So I'm going to feel my love a little stronger
Make it last a little longer next time
Next time

The next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees
Come out of love empty handed
But next time I'll be even harder to please
When will the next time be?
When will the next time be?

Next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees for nobody
And come out of love empty handed
But next time I'll be even harder to please
When will the next time be?
Tell me now, when will the next time be?

One too many days
I've felt forgotten by you
And one too many nights
I've slept alone, alone

And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten
I tell myself I'll try a little harder
Play my cards a little smarter next time
Next time
