Lyrics

Oh, yeah, oh babe

Last time I thought we had this talk
Boy, you were getting ready to leave
I thought, baby, you were done
'Cause for a while, you could barely look at me

This time, I thought that we'd be fine
That I'd forget the things that you said
I tried crossing out your words,
But baby, you can not forget the past
Cannot forget the past
Oh, baby

I'm so unpredictable, you don't know what to think
So unemotional; wonder if I'm even still in love, you see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around
I'm so unpredictable, just like you used to be
So unemotional; boy, I can't forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around

The second time around

We tried going back to Joe's
That was always our favorite place
Long rides, baby, by the coast
Do you remember where we stayed?

Last time, we were hanging out
You were acting kind of estranged
Now it's the second time around
I'm sorry, now it's me that feels this way
(My heart just keeps on turning)
It's me that feels this way, babe
(and now you are the one that is hurting)

I'm so unpredictable, you don't know what to think
So unemotional; wonder if I'm even still in love, you see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around
I'm so unpredictable, just like you used to be
So unemotional; boy, I can't forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around

I'm not sure the best way to say this
But I can't pretend to love you no more, babe
This Ferris wheel's got me crazy
Maybe the second time around is not meant for us, baby
Not meant for us, baby
Oh yeah

I'm so unpredictable, you don't know what to think
So unemotional; wonder if I'm even still in love, you see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around
I'm so unpredictable, just like you used to be
So unemotional; boy, I can't forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around

I'm so unpredictable, you don't know what to think
So unemotional; wonder if I'm even still in love, you see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around
I'm so unpredictable, just like you used to be
So unemotional; boy, I can't forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around
The second time around
