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
