(spoken)
|
Got a call tonight
|
Sayin' we could still be friends
|
What a way to say goodbye
|
What a way to end
|
They say the darkest hour
|
Is just before dawn
|
So I'll just hold my head up
|
And try to sing my song
|
|
Better love next time
|
Just don't let me lose my mind
|
All I need's a real friend
|
To pick me up again
|
I gotta shake these memories
|
If there's another chance for me
|
I'll be lookin' for a sign
|
Won't someone help me find
|
A better love next time
|
|
I could sit around and hurt forever over you
|
But in my heart I know you're really gone
|
There must be a reason for the pain I'm goin' through
|
Telling me I'm not where I belong
|
|
Better love next time
|
Just don't let me lose my mind
|
All I need's a real friend
|
To pick me up again
|
I gotta shake these memories
|
If there's another chance for me
|
I'll be lookin' for a sign
|
Won't someone help me find
|
A better love next time
|
|
Just as soon as I am strong
|
I'll be movin' on
|
To a better love next time
|

Better Love Next Time
