This Time

Tracy Chapman · Crossroads [1989]

This time

I won't show I'm vulnerable

This time

I won't give in first

This time

I will hold out with my love

This time

I will not be hurt



Gonna love myself

More than anyone else

Gonna treat me right

Gonna make you say

That you love me first

You'll be the one

The most to lose tonight

This time



This time

Won't let my emotions rule my life

This time

Gonna keep my heart locked safe inside

This time

I'm gonna be my own best friend

This time

I'm gonna be the one



To win your love, your affection

To hide my fear of rejection

This time

This time



Gonna love myself

More than anyone else

Gonna treat me right

Gonna make you say

That you love me first

You'll be the one

The most to lose tonight

This time



This time

Won't let my emotions rule my life

This time

Gonna keep my heart locked safe inside

This time

I'm gonna be my own best friend

This time

I'm gonna be the one
