Next Girl Lyrics
Well, the look of the cake, it ain't, it ain't always the taste
My ex girl, she had such a beautiful face
I wanted love, but not for myself
But for the girl, so she could, so she could love herself
Oh my next girl will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again
Oh my next girl, she'll be nothing like my ex girl
It was a painful dance, now I got a second chance
Oh her beautiful face and her wicked ways
And I'm paying for her beautiful face everyday
All that work over, over so much time
if I think too hard, I might lose my mind
Oh my next girl, yeah, will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again
Oh my next girl, she'll be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance, and I got a second chance
Yeah, my next girl yea
Oh my next girl
My ex girl, she had such a beautiful face
I wanted love, but not for myself
But for the girl, so she could, so she could love herself
I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again
Oh my next girl, she'll be nothing like my ex girl
It was a painful dance, now I got a second chance
And I'm paying for her beautiful face everyday
All that work over, over so much time
if I think too hard, I might lose my mind
I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again
Oh my next girl, she'll be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance, and I got a second chance
Oh my next girl

I think he's saying, essentially, that his ex-girlfriend was pretty but she was bad news. And his next girl won't be like that. Do you guys see where I'm coming from with that?
@dilaudid Yeah I think that's it
@dilaudid Yeah I think that's it
Pretty sure it's "I'm paying for her beautiful face everyday".
I guess we must think outside the box when listening to this song. Sure, it's about a guy's ex girl who had a pretty face and a wicked way, and his next girl that he assures won't make the same mistake again. Which mistake? Judge things superficially.
Well, the look of the cake, it ain't It ain't always the taste
This line explains what I am trying to say. We often make decisions based in a quick superficial look, and often we regret these decisions, but we just keep doing it.
this song is pretty self explanatory but it is amazing. the music is so sexy!
this song is sooo catchy...one of my favorites on the new album
One of my favorite songs of 2010. I love the energy on this one.
love is so hard...
this is the most amazing things I've read

Ohh dirty hot lustful... I love being his Next Girl
LOL...where's the lust in the song? I think you need a cold shower. (Does that even work? Oh, I suppose in some ways it does, but not for us women:) Interesting song, but the line "I wanted love but not for myself, but for the girl so she could love herself" is rather distrubing.

How is that disturbing?

It means that he wanted the girl to feel better about herself.

rad song, and i think what the lyrics are implying is that the "next girl" is gonna be just as bad as the "ex girl" it's a cycle that repeats itself. i feel like the music video really hints at that
there still seems to be some link between him and his ex girl. the idea that there is still some infatuation.
