This time I won't show I'm vulnerable

This time I won't give in first

This time I will hold out with my love

This time I will not be hurt

Gonna love myself more than anyone else

Gonna treat me right

Gonna make you say that you love me first

And you'll be the one with the most to lose tonight

This time

This time, won't let my emotions rule my life

This time, gonna keep my heart locked safe inside

This time I'm gonna be my own best friend

This time I'm gonna be the one

To win your love, your affection

To hide my fear of rejection

This time, this time

Gonna love myself more than anyone else

Gonna treat me right

Gonna make you say that you love me first

You'll be the one with the most to lose tonight

This time

This time, won't let my emotions rule my life

This time, gonna keep my heart looked safe inside

This time I'm gonna be my own best friend

This time I'm gonna be the one
