If I’ve Only One Time Askin’

Dance me to the rhythm of the wind
The one that lifts the dust when you come in
And press those pretty petals to my skin
If I've only one time askin'

Shoo away the crow that's at your door
Don't let nobody tell you what you're good for
Oh, won't you count for me a little slower
If there ain't no way of it lastin'

And honey let me kiss your pretty face
To wash away the small remaining traces
Of every man who's been here in my place
Who shaded you from shinin'

Don't you take my money when I pay
'Cause your eyes are speaking to me for to stay
Let's use these bills to get you gone away
From the life that you've been trapped in

Well mister I don't even know your name
What makes you think I'd up and go away
'Cause I never said I'm looking to be saved
And your time in here it is passin'

'Cause I've been hurt a million times before
By rougher men who knocked upon my door
But I don't think I've ever been hurt more
Than by you and what you've been askin'
