Next Time Songtext
von Common

I′m gonna blow your mind and hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I'm gonna tell you I love you cross my heart
And hope to die
The next time that I see you

I grew up talking Chi-Town slang
Never played soccer but loved to kick game
Loved chicks with thick frames and big lipped dames
Might see ′em on my arm 'cause I charm like big chains
I was at the Knicks game, they were playing the Nets

Courtside so I could hear the shit they say to the refs
Thug's mission type of stuff you can′t express in a text
Seen a section of girls heavy dressing for checks


That′s when she stepped in front of me
Light skin, long hair like the school days
Wanna be a big ol', woo, let′s just say she was blessed
She had got it from her mama, God gave her the rest
We were being introduced by a mutual friend
Like Kobe in the fourth, that's when the game begins
Game begins, game begins
I′m from the Windy City so I play to win, come on

I'm gonna blow your mind and hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I′m gonna tell you I love you cross my heart
And hope to die
The next time that I see you

We conversated tough about life and stuff
Told her that tonight was just right for us
She was Flava Most and I could spice it up
Be my black Victoria Beckham once I wife it up
Asked her when's the next time we could speak

I might Chloe you and marry you in three weeks
Seen cheeks, she smiled and said she don't remember my name
That′s when I realized that there ain′t no gender in game


I thought, "Man, you don't know me?"
I′m the black guy in the flick with Angelina Jolie
Boldly she told me, "Oh, you got moves"
Her friend said, "Really, no, he's a good dude"
After couple of months of dating and pairs of good shoes
Being snapped by the paps, we shared the good news
We were engaged, though many were confused
I′m from the Windy City so I will not lose, come on

I'm gonna blow your mind and hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I′m gonna tell you I love you cross my heart
And hope to die
The next time that I see you

She had a dope figure, y'all could go figure
Shoulda listened to 'Ye ′cause she was a gold digger
I ain′t a dumb nigga, she was able to pull it
Love had me blindsided like Sandra Bullock
Or could it be things go the way that they should?
From the unexpected love can be understood
And in the real game only love can win
I got to win 'cause I fell in love with a friend

I′m gonna blow your mind and hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I'm gonna tell you I love you cross my heart
And hope to die
The next time that I see you
