Next Lifetime

Lyrics

Now what am I supposed to do
 When I want you in my world
 (Want you in my world)
 But how can I want you for myself
 When I'm already someone's girl
 What am I supposed to do
 When I want you in my world
 (Want you in my world)
 But how can I want you for myself
 When I'm already someone's girl
 
 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 lil bitty girl
 What do you do to me
 Now what am I supposed to do (now what you want me to do)
 
 When I want you in my world
 (Want you in my world)
 But how can I want you for myself (oh no)
 When I'm already someone's girl
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 No hard feelings
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 I'm gon' be there
 Your energy, feels so damn good to me
 It picks me up don't wanna come down
 You got me spinning all around (oh) yeah
 You need to know, I've got somebody
 But, you're beautiful, shh
 But still it ain't that type of party now
 Now what am I supposed to do (what you want me to do)
 When I want you in my world
 (Want you in my world)
 But how can I want you for myself (I can't help my feelings)
 When I'm already someone's girl (oh no)
 Now what am I supposed to do (I know)
 When I want you in my world (I know I'm selfish but I)
 (Want you in my world)
 But how can I want you for myself
 When I'm already someone's girl (wait a minute)
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 Maybe we'll be butterflies
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 That sounds so divine
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 I guess I will now
 ♪
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 Wait, wait a little while
 See, it ain't nothin' wrong with dreamin'
 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 my pie, ooh
 Now what am I supposed to do
 When I want you in my world
 (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 want to stay around
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 I'm so confused now
 Now what am I supposed to do (what you want me to do)
 When I want you in my world
 (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
 ♪
 I'm all ready, I'm gon' be there
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 
 I'm gon' look for you
 Now what am I supposed to do (oh babe)
 When I want you in my world (I got somebody right now)
 (Want you in my world)
 But how can I want you for myself (I, I)
 When I'm already someone's girl (ohh... ohh.ohh... ohh... ohh)
 ♪
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 Ohh, oh baby, oh baby
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 ♪
 Now what am I supposed to do (what do you want me to do)
 ♪
 When I want you in my world
 (Want you in my world)
 But how can I want you for myself (I can't have you baby)
 When I'm already someone's girl
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 ♪
 Cuz what we got is so divine
 I guess I'll see you next lifetime
 Next time I'll make you mine, ooh
