Ooh, how many times am I gon' let you
Walk right past?
I swear sometimes I think I'm moving too fast
You never know if it's gonna last
But I guess that's what scares me sometimes
Ooh, I know it ain't right
But I don't wanna let me care
I wanna know love but I'm a little scared
You never know what you gon' get
And that is what scares me sometimes, times

The next time love comes my way
I gonna let it happen, happen baby
If ever I make, made a mistake
I've been a rebel too long
A rebel too long, a rebel too long
(A rebel too long)

I don't hurt people
That don't hurt me back yeah
I turned to war
And I'm so tired of that
I'm letting now all my guards down
I'm done playing tough guy
For now, for now
Everybody deserves second chances
And that only flies in certain circumstances
Can't keep running away from these feelings
Everybody needs someone
Sometimes, sometimes

The next time love comes my way
I gonna let it happen, happen baby
If ever I make, made a mistake
I've been a rebel too long
A rebel too long, a rebel too long
(A rebel too long)

And before this moment fades away
I wanted you to know I've made mistakes
But even if there's no more words to say
I tried to be better without you

The next time love comes my way (oh yeah)
I gonna let it happen, happen baby
If ever I make, made a mistake (mistake)
I've been a rebel too long
A rebel too long, a rebel too long (oh)
(A rebel too long)
The next time love comes my way (oh yeah)
I gonna let it happen, happen baby
If ever I make, made a mistake (mistake)
I've been a rebel too long
A rebel too long, a rebel too long (oh)
(A rebel too long)
