Sheena Easton - The Next Time lyrics

I didn't give as much as take That was my first mistake I learned my lesson much too late But you wounded heart wouldn't wait Until I saw the answers Were right there in your eyes But now I know the answers I've learned to compromise [Chorus:] The next time I swear I'll take each moment And weight it in my hand Try to understand the other side Not just mine My love won't be blind The next time There'll be a happy ending Cause now my heart can see How lonely right can be I wish there didn't have to be A next time I'm getting stronger everyday But I'd wish the past away If I could convince your heart to stay If I could just find a way To let you see I'm changing And show you who I am It's up to me to change things I promise that I can [Repeat chorus] Give me a chance to show you (the next time) Give me a chance I swear I'll come through The next time I'm gonna take each precious moment And hold it in my hand I'll understand your feelings Not just mine I won't be so blind The next time There's gonna be a happy ending Cause now my heart can see How lonely right can be I wish there didn't have to be A next time Give me a chance to show you (the next time) Give me a chance
