[Verse 1]
Well, I meant it when I said it and it ain't my fault I had to take it back
I'm workin' real hard to not regret it and forgive myself for fallin' in like that
Say I rushed in, call me foolish
Oh, but I learned my lesson

[Chorus]
When I say forever, I wanna write it in stone
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough, it would never get old
And when I give my heart away and lay it all on the line
When I tell the world I'm yours and, baby, you're mine
I wanna mean it this time
I'm gonna mean it this time

[Verse 2]
Well, I know somewhere somebody's out there
And when I meet him, he'll make sense of all this mess
He'll make me smile instead of make me cry
And he'll say what he means and he'll mean what he says
And I'll never second guess

[Chorus]
When I say forever, I wanna write it in stone
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough, it would never get old
And when I give my heart away and lay it all on the line
When I tell the world I'm yours and, baby, you're mine
I wanna mean it this time
I'm gonna mean it this time
[Bridge]
Well, the past is the past, no use looking back
Now I know what I deserve and I'll wait for that

[Chorus]
When I say forever, I wanna write it in stone
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough, it would never get old
And when I give my heart away and lay it all on the line
When I tell the world I'm yours and, baby, you're mine
I wanna mean it this time
I'm gonna mean it this time

[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
