Next Time / Humble Pie
The Internet Lyrics

You were nothing but a moment, a face
You held no significance in my life, just a passing encounter

You were only five minutes away
You were geographically close, but still far from being a real connection

Shoulda met you when I had the chance
I regret not seizing the opportunity to meet you earlier

'Cause I'll probably never see you again
It's unlikely that our paths will cross in the future

My, oh, my
Expressing surprise or excitement

I'm wondering if
I'm pondering and questioning

She knows I
Does she have awareness of my existence?

Was plottin' on her
I was secretly planning to approach or engage with her

Does she come here often?
Is she a regular visitor to this place?

If so I gotta
If the answer is yes, then I should

Make a move, quit stallin'
Take action instead of hesitating

It's hard to gauge with my heart racing
It's difficult to assess the situation when my heart is pounding

This back and forth is energy wasted
Our indecisiveness and hesitation only drain our energy

But what do I say if I see hesitation?
How should I respond if there is doubt or uncertainty?

But what do I do if she walks away?
What action should I take if she decides to leave?

Next time, I just start by saying hi
In the future, I will initiate by greeting her

Ask her what her name is
Engage in conversation by inquiring about her name

If she has the time
If she is willing to spare a moment

Start a conversation
Initiate a dialogue and communicate

No, we don't have to talk for too long
It doesn't need to be an extensive conversation

I just wanna know
I simply desire to find out

That before she could leave
Before she departs or moves on

I walked over and said hello
I approached her and greeted her

Say, baby
Addressing the person affectionately

Don't hate me
Please don't harbor negative emotions towards me

Scratch that, you probably gon' hate me
Disregard that previous statement, as you will likely dislike me

I'll probably drive myself crazy
I might end up feeling mentally unstable or obsessed

My mind, the cloud is so hazy
My thoughts are foggy and unclear

But, shawty would you be mine?
But, would you be my partner or significant other?

But can I be the one you get wit' in the meantime?
Can I be your temporary companion during this period?

I mean it
I genuinely and sincerely mean what I say

Tell me what you think
Share your thoughts and opinions with me

Say if you were me
Imagine yourself in my situation

Would you come and speak
Would you take the initiative to approach and talk to someone?

Or tell me would you
Alternatively, would you

Hey, Miss Dreamy
Addressing a charming and attractive woman

Tell me why you sleeping?
Explain why you are unaware or unresponsive

It's yourself, you're cheating in the end
In the end, you are deceiving or betraying yourself

This shit ain't easy
This situation or experience is difficult and challenging

Baby, please believe me
Darling, trust and have faith in what I'm saying

Don't know what you're thinking
I am unsure of your thoughts and intentions

I think you need a real love
I believe you require genuine affection and emotional connection

You gotta love something
You should have love and passion in your life

You know it's still love
You are aware that love exists

But you ain't doing nothing
However, you are not taking any action or making any effort

Damn
Expressing frustration or disappointment

I've been clockin' in
I have been working diligently

Night and day (night and day)
Continuously and persistently

It's working out for me
It is yielding positive results for me

And you wonder why
And you are curious or confused as to why

No, you ain't hungry yet
No, you don't have a strong desire or drive yet

Me, I got a plate (got a plate)
Meanwhile, I have opportunities or options available

But I don't want a piece of your humble pie (humble pie)
But I am not interested in receiving a portion of your modest or inferior offering

All this wisdom, but you never listen
Despite having knowledge and insight, you refuse to heed advice

Now you stuck just wishing for the best
Now you find yourself trapped and only hoping for favorable outcomes

Assume the system gave you special privilege
You falsely believe that the system granted you exclusive advantages

But ain't nothing given
But in reality, nothing is handed to you without effort
