Next Lifetime lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Erykah, we've been known each other for a while and
You know, I'm into you
Just wanna know what I gotta do, you know, to get closer to you
Wait a minute now, you know I'm in a situation, why you even—
Don't do this, why you trippin' like that?
Well, I understand that, but you, your whole vibe is, you know
I see myself being with you forever
Ah, that is, you know, that's really beautiful and
I kinda dig you too, you know that, we
But we're friends and I'm in a situation
I, I'm in a relationship and you know what that means
Well, whatever I gotta do, I'll do it for you
Hm, you sure put me in an awkward situation

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Mm)
What am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world; baby)
But how can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl?

[Verse 1]
First time that I saw you, boy
It was a warm and sunny day
All I know is I wanted you
I really hoped you'd look my way
When you smiled at me so warm and sweet (You smiled)
I could not speak
You make me feel like a little bitty girl
What do you do to me?
[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?)
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world; oh)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh)
When I'm already someone's girl?

[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gon' be there (Mm)

[Verse 2]
Your energy
Feels so damn good to me
It picks me up, don't wanna come down
You got me spinning all around, yeah (No)
You need to know
I've got somebody
But you're beautiful, sure
But still, it ain't that type of party, now

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?)
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (I can't help my feelings)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Oh no)
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world (I know, I know I'm selfish, but I; want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh, oh)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Wait a minute)
[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Maybe we'll be butterflies
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
That sounds so divine
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I guess I will now
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Wait, wait a little while

[Verse 3]
Listen (Mm)
See, it ain't nothing wrong with dreaming
But, boy, don't get me wrong
'Cause every time I see you (Every time, every single time)
It lets me know just how strong (Every single time)
That my love is for my baby
But emotions just don't lie
Well, I know I'm a lotta woman
But not enough to divide the pie, ooh

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (Well, well, well)
When I want you in my world (No; want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (Oh)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Oh)
[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
You know I wanna stay around
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm so confused now (Mm)

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do, babe?)
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself
When I'm already someone's girl? (No, no, no, no, no)

[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm already, I'm gon' be there
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
I'm gon' look for you (Mm)

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (Oh, babe)
When I want you in my world (I got somebody back there; want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (Ah, ah)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Oh)

[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Oh, baby, oh, babe
I guess I'll see you next lifetime (Oh, baby, baby)
I'm here (Mm)

[Chorus]
Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?)
When I want you in my world (Want you in my world)
But how can I want you for myself (I can't hide my feelings)
When I'm already someone's girl? (Don't worry, baby)

[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
'Cause what we got is so defying
I guess I'll see you next lifetime
Next time, I'll make you mine (Mm)
Ooh
