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

hook:


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


melanie fiona:


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

hook:


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


j. cole:


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 %#@!

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

hook:


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
