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 affection
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
