Next Time

Next time that you see me

I have changed my hair

I'll have taken up smoking

And stopped caring who cares

And you won’t recognize me

I’ll hide behind these shades

You won't see these red-rimmed eyes

Giving me away

And if you call me

I'll not reply

Cause’ you don’t know me

I won’t live a lie

So please don’t call me your baby

Cause’ I don’t know that name

I’m not that same sweet fool

I'm slipping in and out of the night

like a cat of the woman

And I'm breaking all the rules

Cause' I never used to get what I should

Being good

I might taste a little meat

Cause I’m done with being sweet

And if I fall I know I’m landing on my feet

The only thing following me back home is my shadow

Next time that you see me

I’ll be dressed in black

And we’ll pass like strangers

And I will not look back

And I’ll ignore my pale heart whispering in my chest

And like a silent movie

I’ll disappear with all the rest

And if you call me,

I'll not reply

Cause’ you don’t know me

I won’t live a lie

So please don’t call me your darling heart

Cause’ I don’t know that name

And I’m not that same sweet fool

I'm slipping in and out of the night

like a cat of the woman

And I'm breaking all the rules

Cause' I never used to get what I should

Being good

I might taste a little meat

Cause I’m done with being sweet

And if I fall I know I’m landing on my feet

The only thing following me back home is my shadow

I’m landing on my feet
