Maria McKee - Only Once lyrics

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
