The Next Time

There was a time when I thought that you were mine
Now I'm standing here with no one near
And I don't understand
And now I find that you left me behind
So I'm standing here, no one near
No one to hold my hand

And I'm not gonna say that I am sorry
And I'm not gonna say that I was wrong
You said you had to go
But I'm smart enough to know
You won't come around for the next time

The years have gone, and you've disappeared, so long
Now the future's bleak, and it's not neat
As far as I can see
And since the day you threw it all away
If I have a chance to get you back
The rest is up to me

And I'm not gonna say that I am sorry
And I'm not gonna say that I was wrong
You said you had to go
But I'm smart enough to know
You won't come around for the next time

And there's no time for trivialities
Of who has lost and who has won
I thought you'd stay until you took away
The only things that I depend upon
Ho-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I'm not gonna say that I am sorry
And I'm not gonna say that I was wrong, so wrong
You said you had to go
But I'm smart enough to know
You won't come around for the next time
You won't come around for the next time
You won't come around for the next time
You won't come around for the next time
