Erykah Badu
Next Lifetime (Radio Version)

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Mm)
What am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world; baby)
But 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'd look my way
When you smiled at me so warm and sweet (You smiled)
I could not speak
You make me feel like a little bitty girl
What do you do to me?

[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; oh)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh)
When I'm already someone's girl?
[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gon' be there (Mm)

[Verse 2]
Your energy
Feels so damn good to me
It picks me up, don't wanna come down
You got me spinning all around, yeah (No)
You need to know
I've got somebody
But you're beautiful, sure
But still, it ain't that type of party, now

[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)
But how can I want you for myself (I can't help my feelings)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Oh no)
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)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh, oh)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Wait a minute)
[Post-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 (Mm)
See, it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming
But, boy, don't get me wrong
'Cause every time I see you (Every time, 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

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (Well, well, well)
When I want you in my world (No; want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Oh)
[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
You know I wanna stay around
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm so confused now (Mm)

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