I've never been obliged to stay in one place for too long
There's a bad seed inside me and it keeps me movin' on
Have I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay at home
Was I tempted by an angel, only once, only once
Now I wanna be the kind of girl who'll only make you proud
But the noise and fuss, and wanderlust will always drag me down
And if anyone should ask me, have I ever been in love?
I will think of you and tell them, only once
Only once did a pair of lips on mine make me cry
Only once for a pair of arms around me would I die
I will love you 'til I'm saved
I will love you from my grave
And a love like this can happen
Only once, only once
All the men who tried to save me weave their wicked web around me
All the ones I try to save drink their fill and leave me lonely
Have I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a dove
Was I ever nearly happy, only once
Only once was a stupid girl allowed to tempt her fate
Only once did I think twice, and twice was once too late
I'm goin' down like Jezebel
And my body aches like hell
I share by bed just to forget
I said no only once
I will love you 'til I'm saved
I will love you from my grave
And love like this can happen
Only once, only once
from You Gotta Sin To Get Saved
