Loretta Lynn
"The Next Time" lyrics

The Next Time

I guess you'd say I've got
A funny way of showing
The love in me
Is a never-ending thing
I never dreamed
I could ever be unfaithful
And I hope
You'll ever know how close I came

I found old familiar feelings
In the arms of a stranger
I came so close to the fire
I could almost feel the flame

Once a woman gets so lonely
She leans across the line
Heaven knows how far she'll go
The next time

A woman understands
A man's desires
And overlooks
The times he slips around
But let a woman
Never give in to temptation
And a man
Could never let her live it down

I found old familiar feelings
In the arms of a stranger
It was almost like loving me
And wanting me again

Let a woman gets so lonely
She leans across the line
Heaven knows how far she'll go
The next time
