Second Time Around - Gerald Levert

She was saying all the right things

She was like a fashion show

From head to toe

Something came over me

Something I couldn’t see

I said that four letter word

First time shoulda been the last time

I shoulda stayed away

Being in love wasn’t my thing

But uh oh, looks like another love TKO

Bit off more than I can chew

I done fell in love with you, yeah

Look what I done stuck my foot in

Turned around, fell in love again

Hope love don’t let me down

Second time around

Look what I done stuck my foot in

Turned around, fell in love again

Hope love don’t let me down

The second time around

Oh, hope love won’t let me down, no, no

(Second time around)

Second time around, second time around oh, no, no

I don’t mind calling your baby mine, yeah

And I’ll pay the bills

You can spend your dough at will, yeah

And it don’t make sense

Cuz you know I swore off the days, yeah

But you’re a rare precious jewel

And I don’t mind playing the fool for you

Hey look what I done look what I done

(Second time around)

Stuck my foot in, yeah

Look what I done done

Baby I wasn’t even chasin', I was being patient

Me and my prostration, feet solid on the ground, yeah yeah

Then you came around, came around came around

Dealin' with the drama from my baby mama

Tryin to keep my karma

You were my only friend, I had to let you in

Look what I done stuck my foot in

I said I’d never love the sun no more

Cuz the pain of breakin' up just make me so

She’d never loved me quite the way you did

God sent you to me and I’mma try it again

My friends think I’m crazy

Don’t want me to forget

That the first of every month

I’m just writing out checks

And checks and checks and checks

I done fell in love baby

Ad lib until fade
