Tracy Chapman This Time song lyrics

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

I'm gonna love myself

More than anyone else

I'm gonna treat me right

I'm gonna make you say

That you love me first

And you'll be the one with the most to lose tonight

This time

This time

I won't let my emotions rule my life

This time

I'm gonna keep my heart looked 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
