One Hit (To The Body)
The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]
to the darkness below
The smell of your flesh excites me
my blood starts to flow
So help me God
You burst in, in a blaze of light
you unzippered the dark
One kiss took my breath away
one look lights up the stars
And it's one hit to the body
it comes straight from the heart
And it's one hit to the body
sure went straight to the mark,
So help me God
It's one shot when you love me
one shot when you leave
I don't need no security
I just need me some peace
And it's one hit to the body
it comes straight from the heart
One voice calls out my name
It sure went straight to the mark
One punch and you knocked me down
tore my defenses apart
One round took me out of the game
you did me some permanent harm
It took just one hit
It took just one hit
It ain't enough for me
It ain't enough for me
It ain't enough for me
It's hurting me, baby
Oh, your love is a sweet addiction
I can't clean you out of my veins
It's a life long addiction
that has damaged my brain
It took just one hit to the body
to tear my defenses apart
One hit to the body
sure went straight to the mark
One hit to the body
to the body, to the body
Comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
and it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
and it comes straight from the heart
That's all it took, that's all it took
So help me, so help me God
So help me, so help me God
One hit to the body
and it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
and it comes straight from the heart
