You hold the key to whether we will ever last 
I know I can't forever hide behind this mask 
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past 

You'll hear my reputation anywhere you ask 
They'll say I'm always chasing, so the die is cast 
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past 

Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins 
About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes 
But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed 

Back then, the girls, I guess, I kissed and got out fast 
But that's all you need to know then girl, you should have asked 
Everytime I fall in love, out falls the past 

Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins 
About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes 
But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed 

You hold the key to whether we will ever last 
But I hold when we're together; I ain't ever held on another so fast 
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past
