I try to let it go

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 turn 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 can't I get over this?

Baby to love you once

Baby to love you once

Baby to love you once

Is to love you forever

I can't kick your affecetion

I'm sick of tryin' to

You're like a bad addiction

Runnin' through my veins

You're the habit I crave, Yeah

Some kinda voodoo in your eyes

Has my head hypnotized

Baby to love you once

Baby to love you once

Baby to love you once

Is to love you forever

I've come to one conclusion

That there's just no substitution

Baby to love you once

Baby to love you once

Baby to love you once

Is to love you forever

One look and I was hooked

One touch was all it took

Your lips, your velvet skin

Pulled me over and under and in

To love you once

Baby to love you once

Baby to love you once

Is to love you forever
