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
