Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you come 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 runnin' away from love

'Cause the first one let you down, no, no, no

And though other 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

(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)

Ah, the second time

[Verse 6]

Ah, ah

Ah, ah

[Verse 7]

Ooh, I'll make it so good to you, babe

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

Not like the first time, not like the first time

Not like the first time, talking 'bout the second time

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

(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, say it again

(The second time around)

Gonna keep you mine the second time, baby

(The second time around)

So in love, so in love

(The second time around)

Oh
