Common - Next Time lyrics

I'm gonna blow your mind, hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I'm gonna tell you I love you, cross my heart
And I hope I die
The next time that I see you

A cloudy day in the Chi
I was downtown getting my license
Money ain't a thang but hey fame is priceless
Waiting in line, yeah that's one of my vices
This lady recognized me and moved
Me through the line quick
To number one, said sign this for her son
I drew my name with a Bible and a gun
One of her coworkers had a cousin in rap
Can't knock his hustle
But I be doing him like Skinny Pete
In the back, they was playin' light jazz
Spotted this woman with light plus
She had a bright ass
I was checking her out trying to act
Like I ain't checking her out
She could see that I was checking her out
On some Roy Ayers, we was vibing a bit
Told her my next album gonna
Be live with the hit's she did a skit on how
She don't be dating rappers
Said I got my SAG card baby I'm an actor
And after the laughter I said, "naw for real"
She said, "naw for real, forreal?"

I'm gonna blow your mind, hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I'm gonna tell you I love you, cross my heart
And I hope I die
The next time that I see you

Some days it's the sun
Some days it's the rain
Some chicks you forget
Some stay in your brain
Somehow in my mind this broad still remain
Three days later
I'm about to get on the plane
In the security lane, the thing kept beeping
It's probably these hard raps
That I be keeping speaking of the goddess
I picked up my metal objects
You know how you can bring to
Life what's in your conscience
Slim with the pompous attitude from the DMV
Happened to have a beautiful ass
In front of me
Yup, I'm looking and she sort of took it in
That awkward moment of "damn, damn
That's him again" i start telling her how
Beautiful her thoughts are
A man walked up, she said "this is Walter"
I looked at a little Walter as
He stuck out his hand
Said since Borrow a Dollar, he been a fan
Said he met me at a show about four years ago
I'm thinking Goof Troop
I don't remember that shit
I told him that I didn't
So I ended that quick
On the Ice Cube tip, like stay off my dick
And tell your chick to come here
Yeah, I gotta word I want to give to her ear
And it goes like

I'm gonna blow your mind, hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I'm gonna tell you I love you, cross my heart
And I hope I die
The next time that I see you

I can't be lusting another
Man's woman too long
I picked up my pride to the gate, I moved on
With the nike airs on
Stepping into first class
Wondering why these flight attendants don't
Be having no ass
One asked if I wanted a drink
I laid back and just said
Naw I wanted to think
About how and why old girl was affecting me
Opened my eyes her and dude
Was right next to me
Was this destiny like the Jackson Five?
I was shocked inside, but I reacted live
Told her every time I think
Of her she actualize i said fate baby ain't
Something to rationalize
Seen passion in her eyes as my words hit her
She said Walter wasn't her nigga
He just work with her
We dipped to the bathroom so
She could try my love
Now she's a member of the mile high club

I'm gonna blow your mind, hold you close
Squeeze you tight
The next time that I see you
I'm gonna tell you I love you, cross my heart
And I hope I die
The next time that I see you
