Once Is Not Enough

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The first time that I met you- you drove 85 miles per hour

You said riding with the top down made you feel so free-gave you power

I thought your eyes were deeper that any I've seen

And then you hit me with your love machine

I said could we go somewhere and be alone

You kissed me on my cheek and drove me home

Once is not enough- when you kissed me baby

Once is not enough- when you hold me in your arms

It's never enough- I've got to have your baby

Once is not enough- I need you 25 hours everyday

8 days a week-25 hours-8 days a week

I laid awake that night baby I tossed and turned 'til a quarter to seven

I slipped off to LaLa and there you were and I was in heaven

You put your arms around me and loved me so sweet

You said you've got the symptoms of someone in life

I said it's more like a heavy psyche

Once is not enough- when you kissed me baby

Once is not enough- When you hold me in your arms

I need a little more- I've got to have you baby

Once is not enough- I need you 25 hours everyday

8 days a week-25 hours-8 days a week

Once is not enough- Once is never enough- Once is not enough

If I want to make love to you- I should be able to

But once is not enough- It's not enough
