Send "Next Girl" Ringtone to Cell

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 praying 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
I got a second chance yeah

Next girl yeaaah
My next girl ...

    My Interpretation:there still seems to be some link between him and his ex girl.
    the idea that there is still some infatuation.

    General Comment: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

    General Comment: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?
