This is a song i wrote with my good friend Jon Philibert from London,England.. Jon wrote a top 10 country hit for Tom Jones back in the 1980's.

THE NEXT ME Ed Bentley/ Jon Philibert

Why didnt I listen, I knew how she felt
She said, "If I'm always alone, I'd rather do it by myself"
The night it was over, guess I already knew
She said, "I didnt need much, I just needed you"
Now someone else will be

Chorus
The next me, I cant help but wonder
If there's somebody new, and will he really love her
Thinking back now, all I can see
I was making it easy for, the next me

If I'd treated her better, she might still be around
My minds racing, wondering, is there someone she's found
That guy at the office, I cant think of his name
Or her best friends brother, now wasnt he an ole flame
Who, is gonna be

Chorus

Bridge
She won't take my calls, I've tried and I've tried
I'm lost without her, dying inside
Walk in from work, a red message light
Her voice say's okay, we'll talk, call me tonight

Last Chorus
The next me, I'll be a new man
God knows, I know, how lucky I am
My last chance, no guarantee
I'll do all I can, she'll see, a new me
If she'll just change her mind, there wont be, a next me
