LORI MCKENNA
"Your Next Lover"

Well, she lives a few doors down
Says she wants you to take her out
Have some coffee somewhere
Just some coffee
You saw her out in the parking lot
And any plans you had you can break
So wash your face
Let yourself go

Everybody is a sinner
Everybody makes mistakes
And there ain't nobody
Who needs nobody
Don't forget to look her in the eye
Laugh and show your smile
There's not much more to lonely
Than being less lonely

I stood and watched the stars fade
Right there, from your eyes
Baby, I think I know just
What your next lover will be like

You hate cigarettes so she won't smoke
But she don't mind this bar you're in
She sits right up there on that stool
Puts her pocketbook down and smiles at you
You think she's about five foot three
That makes her taller than me
But you're not thinking about that now
No, it ain't right to think about that now

I stood and watched all the stars fade
Right there, from your eyes
Baby, I think I know just
What your next lover will be like

And I hope she can fix you
And I hope she's someone
Who will never let you down
I hope she reminds you nothing of me and
As crazy, as crazy as it sounds. I hope she's beautiful

'Cause I still watched all the stars fade
Right there, from your eyes
Baby, I think I know just
What your next lover will be like

'Cause there ain't nobody who needs nobody
There ain't nobody who needs nobody
