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 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 i ain t gonna fall on my knees and come out of love emptyhanded but next time i ll be even harder to please when will the next time be next time i ain t gonna fall on my knees and come out of love emptyhanded but next time i ll be even harder to please when will the next time be 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 play my cards a little smarter next time wo hoh next time
