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

But you can't keep

runnin' 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

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

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

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

The second time around

All that I've been through, I'll do

it again just as long as I'm with you

The second time around

The second time

I'll make it so good to you, babe

I'll make it so good to you

Not like the first time

Not like the first time

Not like the first time

Talking 'bout the second time

Not like the first time

Not like the first time

Not like the first time

Talking 'bout the second time

You can't keep runnin' 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

The second time around

I'm 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, say it again

The second time around
