I Really Did It This Time
5 Star · Shine [Special Edition] [2013]
And I'm gonna bet'cha
I won't change my mind
You said for us to be together
You would wait forever
Till the end of time
So many broken hearts
From the start I've had my share
Of lovers in disguise
But your eyes said to me
Ecstasy is waiting there
And so to my surprise
[Chorus:]
I'm not the girl next door
I never been in love before
I really did it this time
You are the one for me
I'm living inside love's luxury
I really did it this time
One kiss mixing my emotions
You've got the magic potion
That turns me on
Like this, this is how two lovers
Should feel with each other
So soft and warm
There's so much tenderness
And I guess it's here to stay
Coming from my heart
Make real my fantasy
Eternity should be this way
Forever is just a start
[Repeat Chorus]
I'm not the girl next door
I never been in love before
I really did it this time
(I really don't regret it)
You are the one for me
I'm living inside love's luxury
I really did it this time, oh
I really did it this time
This time I really scored
I really did it this time
I've got you, I can't ask for more
I did it this time
Make real my fantasy
Eternity should be this way
Forever
I'm not the girl next door
I never been in love before
I really did it this time
(Really did it this time)
You are the one for me
I'm living inside love's luxury
I really did it this time
I'm not the girl next door
I never been in love before
(Oh, you better believe it)
I really did it this time
(I did it, I did it, baby)
You are the one for me
I'm living inside love's luxury
Oh yeah, I really did it this time
I'm not the girl next door
I never been in love before
I really did it this time
(I really did it this time)
You are the one for me
I'm living inside love's luxury
I really did it this time
(I did it this time)
I'm not the girl next door
I never been in love before
I really did it this time
(I really did it this time)
You are the one for me
I'm living inside love's luxury
(Oh, you better believe me)
I really did it this time
