Lyrics Erykah Badu – Next Lifetime

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?

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 look my way
Baby, you smiled at me
So warm and sweet
I could not speak
You make me feel
Like a little bitty girl
What do you do to me?

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?

I guess I’ll see you next lifetime
No hard feelings
I guess I’ll see you next lifetime
I’m gon’ be there

Your energy
Feels so damn good to me
It picks me up
Don’t wanna come down

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?
Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
(I know, I know I’m selfish.)
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?

Well 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

See it ain’t nothing wrong with dreaming
Boy, don’t get me wrong
‘Cause every time (every time) I see you (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 lot of woman
But not enough to divide the pie

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?

I guess I’ll see you next lifetime
You know I want to stay around
I guess I’ll see you next lifetime
I’m so confused now

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?

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

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?

I guess I’ll see you next lifetime
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
I guess I’ll see you next lifetime

Now what am I supposed to do
When I want you in my world?
But how can I want you for myself
When I’m already someone’s girl?

I guess I’ll see you next lifetime
‘Cause what we got is so divine
I guess I’ll see you next lifetime
Next time I’mma make you mine
