Lyrics Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu

Next Lifetime

Now what am I supposed to do

When I want you in my world

How can I want you for myself

When I'm already someone's girl?

(2x)

First time that I saw you boy

It was a warm and sunny day

All I know is I wanted you

I really hoped you look my way

Then you smiled at me

So warm and sweet

I could not speak

You make me feel like a little bitty girl

What do you do to me

Now what am I supposed to do

When I want you in my world

How can I want you for myself

When I'm already someone's girl?

(2x)

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

No hard feelings

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

I'm gonna be there

You're energy

Feels so damn good to me

It picks me up don't wanna come down

You got me spinning all around

Yeah

You need to know

I've got somebody

You're beautiful

But still it ain't that type of party

Now what am I supposed to do

When I want you in my world

How can I want you for myself

When I'm already someone's girl?

(2x)

Well I guess I'll see you next lifetime

Maybe we'll be butterflies

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

That sounds so divine

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

I guess I will now

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

Wait

Wait a little while

See it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming

Boy don't get me wrong

Cause every time (every time) I see you (every single time)

It lets me know just how strong (every single time)

That my love is for my baby

But emotions just don't lie

Well I know I'm a lot of woman

But not enough to divide the pie

Now what am I supposed to do

When I want you in my world

How can I want you for myself

When I'm already someone's girl?

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

You know I want to stay around

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

I'm so confused now

Now what am I supposed to do

When I want you in my world

How can I want you for myself

When I'm already someone's girl?

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

Already

I'm going to be there

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

I'm going to look for you

Now what am I supposed to do

When I want you in my world

How can I want you for myself

When I'm already someone's girl?

I guess I'll see you next lifetime

Oh

Oh baby

I'm gonna be there

I'm gonna be there
