Lyrics

This Time

Some folks believe in magic

Does voodoohoodoo do it for you?

Some folks claim they know all the answers

And for a price they’ll share them with you

This time it’s going to be better

This time I’m going to be strong

This time I refuse to get bitter!

Even though I knew you were wrong!

Some folks have the gift for living

Others make a living hell

Some folks take love as a given

And can’t stop falling under its spell

This time it’s going to be better

This time I’m going to be strong

This time I refuse to get bitter!

Even though I knew you were wrong!
