Not This Time

I left home for work, Said I'm sorry again for bein' a jerk
I said, I'd be home before suppertime
Flowers in my hand, You know the usual thing that gets me in again
And I was, thinkin' everything was going to be just fine
Not this time...

I remember when, You said I was your best friend
And we were standin' on the beach in Caroline
Wind in your hair, You know it seemed like then we didn't have a care
And I was, dreamin' 'bout a love forever mine
Not this time ...

Last night turned into tomorrow
And I can't bring back yesterday
I can beg and plead but I know
That I can't make love can find a way
Oh not this time

Well I talked to your friends, You know they said you're never comin' back to me again
And I was startin' to believe it in my mind
But here in my heart, I believe we can make a brand new start
And I'm knowin' all your friends think they're right
Not this time...

Oh not this time
