Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time, I'm gonna take over, over, over

I've had my share of losing just to keep you here
You've had your share of winning
Let's try to make it clear
Now time has come for you to stop and
Wonder why
This little girl has changed direction my oh my

You gonna cry
You gonna sigh
You gonna ask why is she leaving me
Is there someone else
Is there really nothing I can do about it

This time I'm gonna take over, over, over
And I'll just take my time when I try my luck
This time I'm gonna take over, over, over
I really enjoy this life whe I get my luck
This time I'm gonna take over

You wanted me to be your lover sweet and kind
But here's some bad news: Cinderella has just resigned
I'll take my silver shoes and walk right
Out to the door
I don't believe in your miracles anymore

You gonna cry
You gonna sigh
You gonna ask why is she leaving me
Is there someone else
Is there really nothing I can do about it

This time I'm gonna take over, over, over
And I'll just take my time when I try my luck
This time I'm gonna take over, over, over
I really enjoy this life whe I get my luck
This time I'm gonna take over

I'll put a diamond snake around my finger
And bring it out for everyone to see
No more hesitating no more lingering
Just be the one that I can be

The devil in your eyes
The sweetheart of a lie
I'll buy myself a Paris dress
Oh baby and I couldn't care less
This time

You gonna cry
You gonna sigh
You gonna ask why is she leaving me
Is there someone else
Is there really nothing I can do about it

This time I'm gonna take over, over, over
And I'll just take my time when I try my luck
This time I'm gonna take over, over, over
I really enjoy this life whe I get my luck
This time I'm gonna take over
