Once You've Tasted Love
Take That · Never Forget - The Ultimate Collection [2005]
Remember how the past has been
Don't be led to believe this one's for you
Calculate your needs, I see there's room to plant your seeds
Don't decide till you see how the others have grown
Once you've tasted love it is just the beginning of a new world
Once you've tasted love there's no way you can give in
Once you've tasted love
Still too early to know
Give them time and they will grow
Don't believe that the first's the one for you
Most will grow to be tall, others will break and fall
Keep your eye on the strongest head of them all
Once you've tasted love it's just the beginning of a new world
Once you've tasted love it's just the begining and your head is spinning
Once you've tasted love
Once you've tasted love it is just the beginning of a new world
Once you've tasted love there's no way you can give in, oh no
Can't control your mind and your head is still spinning, oh yeah
Once you've tasted love it's just the beginning
Once you've tasted love
Once you've tasted love, you know it's good
Come taste my love
You know you should
[spoken]
Come into my world, as the badness disappears
Take my hand, don't be afraid, I'm gonna work off all your fears
It feels so nice to be with you, Us two, we fit like a glove
When I see your eyes I realise you too have tasted love
Once you've tasted love, you know it's good
Come taste my love
You know you should
