to love you once lyrics

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 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
And ever, ever

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
