Next time...
Love, like a road that never end
How it leads me back again to heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart up on the shelf
'Til the moment was right
And I told myself
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Oh now, as I look into your eyes
Well, I wonder if it's wise to hold you
Like I've wanted to before
Tonight, ooh, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life
In this heart of mine
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you
[--Peter Cetera & Amy Grant]
