To Love You Once
Jessica Andrews · Now
I try to shut it out
Cleanse it from my soul
But it stays in place like a permanent stain,
Yeah
All I want
Is to tune you down
To sleep you off
But your memory creeps in and out of my dreams,
And
Hits me like a cold hard fist
Why canÂ’t I get over this?
CHORUS
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever
I canÂ’t kick your affection
IÂ’m sick of tryinÂ’ to
YouÂ’re like a bad addiction
RunninÂ’ through my veins
YouÂ’re the habit I crave, yeah
Some kinda voodoo in your eyes
Has my head all hypnotized
CHORUS
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever
IÂ’ve come to the conclusion
That thereÂ’s just no substitution
One look and I was hooked
One touch was all it took
Your lips, your velvet skin
Pulled me over and under and in
I love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever
