Maria McKee - Only once

I've never been obliged to stay in ^Cone place for too ^Glong There's a ^Abad seed bred inside me and it keeps me moving ^Don Have I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay at ^Ghome? Was I ^Atempted by an angel? Only once, only ^Donce

Now I want to be the kind of girl who'll ^Conly make you ^Gproud But the ^Anoise and fuss and wanderlust will always drag me ^Ddown And if anyone should ask me, have I ever been in ^Glove I will ^Athink of you and tell them, only ^Donce

Only ^Gonce did a pair of lips on mine make me ^Dcry Only once, for a pair of arms around me, would I ^Adie I will ^Dlove you till I'm saved, I will love you from my ^Ggrave And ^Alove like this can happen only once, only ^Donce

All the men who try to save me, weave their ^Cwicked web a^Ground me All the ^Aones I try to save, drink their fill and leave me ^Dlonely Have I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a ^Gdove? Was I ^Aever nearly happy? Only ^Donce

Only ^Gonce was a stupid girl allowed to tempt her ^Dfate Only once did I think twice and twice was once too ^Alate I'm going ^Ddown like Jezebel and my body aches like ^Ghell I share ^Amy bed just to forget, I said 'no' only ^Donce

I will ^Dlove you till I'm saved, I will love you from my ^Ggrave And ^Alove like this can happen only once, only ^Donce ^{A D}
