Next Time
Ann-Margret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see myself in a way some girls do
no one notices but you, so let say
you're the one to help me out of here.
Let's take all our plans and leave them in the past.
I'm a raging hurricane and will see,
if they'll survive, out ther
hey-yeaah, hey-yeaah, hey-yeaah___

REFREIN:

But baby, I forgot, forgot to ask you,
yeah, where you're going tonight.
And baby, it will hurt me.
But I'll be long here so I'm leaving
next time with you by my side.


VERSE 2:

People look up when I mention your name.
No it won't be the same but I need a change
right now so please turn the other way.
I'm tired of the thought that everybody's walking the same road,
and everybody is singing the same note,
so I sing something totally unprepared___
hey-yeaah, hey-yeaah, hey-yeaah___


REFREIN:

But baby, I forgot, forgot to ask you,
yeah, where you're going tonight.
And baby, it will hurt me.
But I'll be long here so I'm leaving
next time with you by my side.

Your grandma had great taste.
I love these retro movies, with such fascinating styles to entertain us with.
That was a special time & they demanded excellence in the arts field of acting, dancing, singing.
The competition was big.
I also live her leading men in her movies very 😎 cool chorography with the dancers !!!!!..
Love 💓😘 Elvis ,& how he loved all people & could get folks having fun & excited.
He named his daughter with my pretty much same name too.

@dinastarks9295

Real stars and real talent Not like we see today where you don't know who's really singing and who's just faking It
