|
I've never been obliged to stay in one place for too long |
|
There's a bad seed bred inside me and it keeps me moving on |
|
Have I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay at home |
|
Was I tempted by an angel |
|
Only once, only once |
|
Now I wanna be the kind of girl who'll only make you proud |
|
But the noise and fuss and wanderlust will always drag me down |
|
But if anyone should ask me have I ever been in love |
|
I will think of you and tell them Only Once |
|
Only once did a pair of lips on mine make me cry |
|
Only once for a pair of arms around me would I die |
|
I will love you till I'm saved |
|
I will love you from my grave |
|
And love like this can happen Only Once |
|
All the men who try to save me |
|
Weave their wicked web around me |
|
All the ones I try to save drink their fill and leave me lonely |
|
Have I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a dove |
|
Was I ever nearly happy? Only Once |
|
Only once was a stupid girl allowed to tempt her fate |
|
Only once did I think twice |
|
And twice was once too late |
|
I'm going down like Jezebel and my body aches like hell |
|
I share my bed just to forget |
|
I said no Only Once |
|
I will love you till I'm saved |
|
I will love you from my grave |
|
And love like this can happen |
|
Only Once, Only Once |
