If only you knew all the love I had inside
If only I told you
That you were my greatest pride
Ooh, if only I showed you just how good you make 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 rewrite 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, now this time
I'm giving my heart and soul and every drop of 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
If I could go back then you never would have gone
If I knew then what I know now
I'd have told you all that I
Feel 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 has gone away
You can't rewrite the past
All I can do is say (all I can do is say)

This time, I'm doing much better
Love you like I never (Ever loved you)
Ever loved you before (oh baby, baby, baby)
Oh baby, now this time
I'm giving my heart and soul and every drop of my love
(If you say yes)
If you say yes, I'll give you my best (Cole world)
This time

Hey, if looks kill then Melanie you a felony (uh-huh)
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 sh-, we used to watch Law and Order, NBC sh-
But now I'm watching solo on some empty seat sh-
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
Let's rewind back when days sunny like Liston
Your smile just glisten, your booty like a cushion
Is this the moment where we making up
And realize we tripping forever breaking up?
And then I break you off, put you to sleep
Know it's 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
(Loved you liked I never, baby)
Ever loved you before (ever before, ever before)
Oh baby, now this time
I'm giving my heart and soul and every drop of my love
And if you say yes)
If you say yes, I'll give you my best
This time
