This Time

If only you knew all the love I had inside
 If only I told you
 That you were my greatest pride
 If only I showed you just how good you made me feel
 Maybe I wouldn't be alone and you would be right here but
 I don't wanna do it over
 The first time has gone away
 You can't rewind the past
 All I can do is say
 This time, I'm doing much better
 Love you like I never
 Ever loved you before
 Oh baby, not this time
 I'm giving my heart and soul
 That I reach out for my love
 If you say yes I'll give you my best
 This time
 This time, I'm gonna be stronger
 This time I'll do it all the way
 This time I'll be a better woman
 This time I won't get in my own way
 I could go back you never would have gone
 If I knew then what I know now
 I've told you all that I've built for you in my heart
 In my head I know what i should've said
 I know what I shoulda did
 But I don't wanna do it over
 The first time is gone away
 You can't revive the past
 All I can do is say
 This time, I'm doing much better
 Love you like I never
 Ever loved you before
 Oh baby, not this time
 I'm giving my heart and soul
 That I reach out for my love
 If you say yes I'll give you my best
 This time
 If looks kill then Melanie you a felony
 We both hot I guess we couldn't take the jealousy
 All in my ear I had my homeboys telling me
 How to be a player, we fell off like Bill Bellamy
 MTV shhh, we used to watch Law and Order, NBC shh
 But now I'm watching solo on some empty seat shit
 Thinking of you, I got a lot more drinking to do
 Reminiscing, though I seen it coming
 Yeah I had a premonition
 Right beside each other and somehow it felt distant
 Lets rewind back when days sunny like Liston
 Smile just glisten, your booty like a cushion
 Is this the moment where we making up
 And realise we tripping forever breaking up
 And then I break you off, put you to sleep know its deep
 When the girl of his dreams is the same one to wake him up
 This time, I'm doing much better
 Love you like I never
 Ever loved you before
 Oh baby, not this time
 I'm giving my heart and soul
 That I reach out for my love
 If you say yes I'll give you my best
 This time
