Second Time Around Lyrics

[Intro]
She was saying all the right things
She was like a fashion show
From head to toe
Something came over me
Something I couldn't see
I said that four letter word
L-O-V-E

First time shoulda been the last time
I shoulda stayed away
Being in love wasn't my thing
But uh oh, looks like another love TKO
Bit off more than I can chew
I done fell in love with you, yeah

Look what I done stuck my foot in
Turned around, fell in love again
Hope love don't let me down
Second time around

Look what I done stuck my foot in
Turned around, fell in love again
Hope love don't let me down
The second time around

Oh, hope love won't let me down, no, no
(Second time around)
Second time around, second time around oh, no, no

I don't mind calling your baby mine, yeah
And I'll pay the bills
You can spend your dough at will, yeah
And it don't make sense
Cuz you know I swore off the days, yeah
But you're a rare precious jewel
And I don't mind playing the fool for you

Repeat 1

Hey look what I done look what I done
(Second time around)
Stuck my foot in, yeah
Look what I done done

Baby I wasn't even chasin', I was being patient
Me and my prostration, feet solid on the ground, yeah yeah
Then you came around, came around came around
Dealin' with the drama from my baby mama
Tryin to keep my karma
You were my only friend, I had to let you in
Look what I done stuck my foot in

Repeat 1

I said I'd never love the sun no more
Cuz the pain of breakin' up just make me so
She'd never loved me quite the way you did
God sent you to me and I'mma try it again

My friends think I'm crazy
Don't want me to forget
That the first of every month
I'm just writing out checks
And checks and checks and checks
I done fell in love baby

Ad lib until fade

Gerald Levert (July 13 1966 - November 10 2006) was an rhythm and blues singer, one of several from the musical Levert family. His father, Eddie Levert, is the lead singer of the 1970s soul group The O'Jays. Gerald Levert sang with his brother, Sean Levert, and Marc Gordon in the R&B trio LeVert. He was also a member of LSG, an R&B trio also featuring Johnny Gill and Keith Sweat

During the 1980s and early 1990s, Levert scored big hits with "Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop (Goes My Mind)", "Casanova", and "ABC-123" (not to be confused with the Jackson Five hit of the same name). As a solo artist, Gerald's hits included "I'd Give Anything (to Fall in Love)", "You Got That Love", and "Mr. Too Damn Good to You".

Gerald and Eddie collaborated together on many different occasions, and they recorded an album called Father and Son together.

Gerald Levert also sang the chorus on the Chris Rock spoken-word comedy piece, "No Sex (In the Champagne Room)".

In 2005, Levert's daughter Carlysia was featured on an episode of MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen.

Levert passed away due to an apparent heart attack on November 10, 2006. Sister 2 Sister magazine reported that Gerald and his father had just returned from a 10-day trip to South Africa where they had met with Nelson Mandela and were treated like royalty. Upon Gerald's return, he was excited about his upcoming album, which is due early in 2007. Gerald died in his sleep. Read more on Last.fm.
