Only Once

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 And 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 a love like this can happen Only once, 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 a love like this can happen Only once, only once
