Next Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, the look on the cake, it ain't
It ain't always the taste

My ex-girl she had such
Such a beautiful face

I wanted love
But not for myself
But for the girl so she could
So she could love herself

[Chorus]
Oh, my next girl
Will be nothing like my ex-girl

I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again

Oh, my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex-girl
It was a painful dance
Now I got a second chance, yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh, her beautiful face and her
And her wicked way

And I am paying for her beautiful face
Every day

All that work over
Over so much time, if I
If I think too hard
I might lose my mind
[Chorus]
Oh, my next girl, yeah
Will be nothing like my ex-girl
I made mistakes back then
I never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex-girl
That was a painful dance
And I, I got a second chance, yeah

[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh, my next girl, yeah
Oh-oh, yeah
My next girl

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
