Only Once
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
And 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 a love like this can happen
Only once, 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 a love like this can happen
Only once, only once
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
And 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 a love like this can happen
Only once, 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 a love like this can happen
Only once, only once
