Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartacheĀ I'll never understand
[PreChorus]
Darling, I put my heart up on a shelf
Till the moment was right, and I told myself
[Chorus]
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love, ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
[Verse 2]
Oh, now, as I look into you eyes
Well, I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
[PreChorus]
Tonight, ooh, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine
[Chorus]
Next time I fall in love
I know better what to do
Next time I fall in love, ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
[Bridge]
Next time, I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
[Chorus]
Next time I fall in love
I know better what to do
Next time I fall in love, ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
[Outro]
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall
Oh, next time I fall in love
Ooh, the next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
