This Time - Tracy Chapman

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

Won't let my emotion rule my life

This time

Gonna keep my heart locked safe inside

This time

I'm gonna be my longest friend

This time

I'm gonna be the one

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

Won't let my emotion rule my life

This time

Gonna keep my heart locked safe inside

This time

I'm gonna be my longest friend

This time

I'm gonna be the one
