Next Time It’s for Real

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As far as I can remember My heart you tried to steal Indications pointed out to me You just wanted to play in the field Counterfeit your promises You thought you could conceal I overlooked your many games, baby 'Cause you gave my soul a thrill [Pre-Chorus] Now every time I turn around My heart you try to steal Now every time I turn around My heart you're trying to steal [Chorus] Baby, this is the deal Hu-ha, look here, the next time it's for real Baby, you know the deal [Verse 2] No remorse towards you Will be my attitude We can dance to your tune But we can try something new But you see, uh... there is just one major problem I know how you love to lie Remember those lies, don't you, baby? And if we can't solve them Why don't we just say "bye-bye"? [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause every time I turn around The phone is ringing, yeah And you're giving me some deal Every time I turn around You want me to appeal [Chorus] But baby, this is the deal Hu-ha, ha-ha, the next time it's for real See, I ain't gonna be uh, playing around, baby 'Cause baby, you know the deal Now we're gonna groove a little while... [Bridge] Baby, the next time, baby, the next time Hey now, baby Baby, the next time, next time it's for real Ain't gonna be your fool no more! Baby, the next time, baby, the next time You see, it's like it is, baby Baby, the next time, next time it's for real [Pre-Chorus] You've got to do to others, baby That you have them do to you I'm not gonna be your fool No more playing around, baby I've told you how I feel [Chorus] Baby, this is the deal Ho-ha, lookit here, the next time it's for real You see, I ain't gonna be your fool no more Baby, you know the deal And this is, uh, what it is [Outro] Baby, the next time, baby, the next time (baby, baby) Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (baby) Baby, the next time, baby, the next time Baby, the next time (hey, let me tell you now) (You see) next time it's for real Baby, the next time, baby, the next time Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (I can't see what gave you the nerve to call on me) (Now, baby) baby, the next time, baby, the next time Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (Have you run out of fools, is this why it's me you choose?) Baby, the next time, baby, the next time Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (You got to do for me, like I did for you) (Now, baby) baby, the next time, baby, the next time (You gotta pay your dues, now baby) Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (Gotta live a little while with the blues, and I'm...) Baby, the next time, baby, the next time (You gotta see what it is playing the game) Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (By a different set of rules, ain't gonna be your fool no more) Baby, the next time, baby, the next time Baby, the next time, next time it's for real ('Cause I'm a little better off, better than before, baby) Baby, the next time, baby, the next time (I'm sick and tired of you calling shots) Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (It's not because of the water bill) Baby, the next time, baby, the next time (You gotta live a little while with the blues, now baby) Baby, the next time, next time it's for real (Gotta pay your dues...) Baby, the next time, baby, the next time...
