"Mean It This Time" lyrics

Well I meant it when I said it
And it ain't my fault I had to take it back
I'm workin' real hard to not regret it
And forgive myself for fallin' in like that
Say I rushed in, call me foolish
Oh, but I learned my lesson

When I say forever
I'm gonna write it in stone
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough
It would never get old
And when I give my heart away
And lay it all on the line
When I tell the world I'm yours
And baby you're mine
I wanna mean it this time
I'm gonna mean it this time

Well I know somewhere somebody's out there
And when I meet him he'll make sense of all this mess
He'll make me smile instead of make me cry
He'll say what he means and he'll mean what he says
And I'll never second guess

When I say forever
I'm gonna write it in stone
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough
It would never get old
And when I give my heart away
And lay it all on the line
When I tell the world I'm yours
And baby you're mine
I wanna mean it this time
I'm gonna mean it this time

The past is the past
No use looking back
Now I know what I deserve
And I'll wait for that

When I say forever
I wanna write it in stone
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough
It would never get old
And when I give my heart away
And lay it all on the line
When I tell the world I'm yours
And baby you're mine
I wanna mean it this time
I'm gonna mean it this time

Ooh, ooh
