Erykah Badu
Next Lifetime (Radio Version)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world, baby)
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?

[Verse 1]
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 looked my way
When you smiled at me, so warm and sweet (You smiled)
I could not stay
You make me feel like a lil’ bitty girl
What do you do to me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?)
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
How can I want you for myself (Oh Lord)
When I'm already someone's girl?
[Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gonna be there

[Verse 2]
Your energy feels so damn good to me
It picks me up don't wanna come down
You got me spinnin’ all around, yeah
You need to know
I've got somebody but
You're beautiful
But still, it ain't that type of party now

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?)
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
How can I want you for myself (I can’t help my feelings)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Oh, no)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (I know, I know I’m selfish but I; want you in my world)
How can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl? (Wait a minute)
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Listen, see, it ain't nothing wrong with dreamin’
Boy, don't get me wrong
'Cause 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 lotta woman
But not enough to divide the pie, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (Well, well, well)
When I want you in my world (No, want you in my world)
How can I want you for myself (Ooh)
When I'm already someone's girl?
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?)
When I want you in my world
