Next Lifetime (Live)

[Chorus]
Now...
But how can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?

[Verse 1]
First time that I saw you boy
It was a warm and sunny day
All I know is I wanted you
I really hoped you'd looked my way
Then you smiled at me so warm and sweet
I could not speak
You make me feel like a little bitty girl
What do you do to me?

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do when I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings, baby
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gonna be there

[Verse 2]
Your energy, feels so damn good to me
It picks me up don't wanna come down
You got me spinning all around, baby, oh
You need to know
I've got that somebody
But you're beautiful
But still it ain't that type of party, oh, ow

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do when I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?
Now what am I supposed to do when I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Maybe we'll be butterflies
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Ooh, that sounds so divine
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I guess I will now, baby
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
So you gon' have to wait
Wait a little while, mmm...

[Verse 3]
See, it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming
But boy don't get me wrong
'Cause every time (Every time) I see you (Every single time)
It lets me know just how strong (Every single time)
That my love is for my baby
But emotions just don't lie
Well, I know I'm a lot of woman
But not enough to divide the pie, ooh

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do when I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
You know I wanna stay around, baby
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Don't cry, baby; don't cry, baby

[Bridge]
You don't have to cry...alone, baby
'Cause I'll be right by your side to help you be strong, strong
Baby, dry your eyes
I said you better be strong for me, baby
'Cause I can hold you through these times
'Cause I can hold you through these times now
I guess I will now
I guess I will, I guess I will, huh
I guess I will, I guess I will will
I guess I will, I, guess, I will
I guess I will...help me
I guess I will, I guess I will (I said I guess I will will)

I guess I will, I guess I will
