Lyrics

2nd Time Around

[Intro repeat 4x]

Second time around, hey

Second time around

Second time around, ho

Second time around

[Chorus]

I think it's gonna be better

The second time around (second time around)

I think it's gonna be better

We can work it out

We can work it out

[Verse 1]

I felt a super sensation

From the second I laid eyes on you

Never gave into temptation

‘Cause I didn't want to lose my cool

Then the sparks, they flew

Nothing we could do

But the aftershock was much too strong

If we start as friends build it up again

Maybe we can make it through

Longer lasting brand new

[Chorus]

I think it's gonna be better

The second time around (second time around)

I think it's gonna be better

We can work it out

We can work it out

I think it's gonna be better

Oh, the second time around (second time around)

I think it's gonna be better

We can work it out

We can work it out

[Verse 2]

I had my standard rotation

I was satisfied to get back to

Forget about our relation

Keep it pushin’ down the avenue

Then a late night call mixed with alcohol

We connected right where we left off

If we start as friends build it up again

Maybe we can make it through

Longer lasting brand new

[Chorus]

I think it's gonna be better

The second time around (second time around)

I think it's gonna be better

We can work it out

We can work it out

I think it's gonna be better

Oh, the second time around (second time around)

I think it's gonna be better

We can work it out

We can work it out

[Refrain]

Second time around, hey

Second time around

Second time around, ho

Second time around

Second time around, hey

Second time around

Second time around, ho

Second time around

[Chorus]

I think it's gonna be better, ooh

The second time around (second time around), oh

I think it's gonna be better, ooh

We can work it out

We can work it out, oh
