To Love You Once

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 tune 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 all 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 the conclusion
That there's just no substitution

One look and I was hooked
One touch was all it took
Your lips, your velvet skin
Pulled me over and under and in
I love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Baby to love you once
Is to love you forever
