To Love You Once

Baby, to love you once
Like a permanent stain, yeah
Runnin' through my veins

And hits me like a cold, hard fist
Baby, to love you once
Is to love you forever
Is to love you forever
You're like a bad addiction
That there's just no substitution

I've come to one conclusion
Baby, to love you once
Baby, to love you once
Baby, to love you once
Baby, to love you once

Baby, to love you once
Is to love you forever
Is to tune you down
One touch was all it took
Baby, to love you once
Pulled me over and under and in

All I want
To love you once

But it stays in place

I can't kick your affection
I'm sick of tryin' to
Baby, to love you once
And ever, ever
Why can't I get over this?
Baby, to love you once
Some kinda voodoo in your eyes
Baby, to love you once
Has my head all hypnotized

To sleep you off
In and out of my dreams
But your memory creeps
You're the habit I crave, yeah
One look and I was hooked
Your lips, your velvet skin
Cleanse it from my soul
