Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you come a long way baby
But you don't need that heart of stone no
You proved that you could do it, do it baby
You can make it on your own
[Verse 2]
But you can't keep running away from love
'Cause the first one let you down, no no no
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found
Love can still be found
[Verse 3]
The second time around
Ooh
The second time is so much better baby
The second time around
And I'll make it better than the first time
[Verse 4]
You know I really love you
And I paid for my mistakes, yes I did girl
The more I try to hide my feelings, baby
This old heart gets in the way
And love won't let me wait
[Verse 5]
The second time around
Girl, with me, it's better than the first time
The second time around
Let's do it one more time
Say it again
[Verse 6]
The second time around
All that I've been through
I'd do it again just as long as I'm with you
The second time around
Ha, the second time
Ha uh
[Verse 7]
Ha uh
Ooh
I'll make it so good to you baby
I'll make it so good to you
[Verse 8]
Not like the first time
Not like the first time
Not like the first time
Talking 'bout the second time
[Verse 9]
Not like the first time
Not like the first time
Not like the first time
Talking 'bout the second time
[Verse 10]
You can't keep running away from love
'Cause the first one let you down
And though others try to satisfy you, baby
With me true love can still be found
[Verse 11]
The second time around
Gonna keep you mine the second time baby
The second time around
I'll know what to do
Just as long as I'm with you
The second time around
Do it one more time
