Lyle Lovett Lyrics for Song: Once Is Enough
 Lyrics for Album: Lyle Lovett and His Large Band [1989]
 
 
 
 32291>(Lovett)
 
 
 
 I used to be so much more open minded
 
 And I used to like to fall in love
 
 And they tell me I was so much sweeter and kinder
 
 But once is enough.
 
 
 
 Yeah I used to be Mr. Understanding
 
 I used to could listen and not interrupt
 
 But now I'm a different man than that man then
 
 'Cause once is enough.
 
 
 
 And once is enough for anybody
 
 Once is enough to fall in love
 
 Once is enough to feel your heart beat
 
 Once is enough.
 
 
 
 And yeah I used to be able to handle rejection
 
 I used to be so long lean and tough
 
 And I used to would fight for a woman's affection
 
 But once is enough.
 
 
 
 Once is enough for anybody
 
 Once is enough to fall in love
 
 Once is enough to feel your heart beat
 
 Once is enough.
 
 
 
 So baby you don't have to tell me two times
 
 You can save your sweet breath because
 
 I saw the way you looked away from my eyes
 
 And once is enough.
 
 
 
 But a man can't help can't help but learn his lesson
 
 But a man he can't help the stars above
 
 And a man can't help but go around messing
 
 With once is enough.
 
 
 
 Once is enough for anybody
 
 Once is enough to fall in love
 
 Once is enough too feel your heart beat
 
 Once is enough.
 
 
 
 So if you see me down by the byway
 
 Won't you tell me you'll do this much
 
 Take your head just one time and turn it my way
 
 'Cause once is enough.
 
 
 
 And once is enough for anybody
 
 Once is enough to fall in love
 
 Once is enough to feel your heart beat
 
 Once is enough...
