to stay in one place for too long
There's a bad seed bred inside me
and it keeps me moving on
Have I ever been persuaded
to give it up and stay at home?
Was I tempted by an angel
Now I want to be the kind of girl
that'll only make you proud
But the noise and the fuss
will always drag you down
And if anyone should ask me,
I will think of you until then, only once
Only once did a pair of lips on mine
Only once for a pair of arms
I will love you till I'm saved,
I will love you from my grave
And a love like this can happen
All the men who tried to save me
Weave their wicked web around me
All the ones I tried 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
and my body aches like hell
I share my bed just to forget, I say
Only once I will love you till I'm saved
I will love you from my grave
And a love like this can happen
