What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I've never been obliged to stay in one place for too long
2
There's a bad seed bred inside me and it keeps me movin' on
3
Have I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay home?
4
Was I tempted by an angel? Only once, only once
5
Now I wanna be the kind of girl who'll only make you proud
6
But the noise and fuss and wanderlust will always drag me down
7
And if anyone should ask me, have I ever been in love
8
I will think of you and tell them, "Only once"
9
Only once did a pair of lips on mine make me cry
10
Only once for a pair of arms around me would I die
11
I will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
12
And love like this can happen only once, only once
13
All the men who try to save me weave their wicked web around me
14
All the ones I try to save, drink their fill and leave me lonely
15
Have I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a dove?
16
Was I ever nearly happy? Only once
17
Only once was a stupid girl allowed to tempt her fate
18
Only once did I think twice and twice was once too late
19
I'm going down like Jezebel and my body aches like hell
20
I share my bed just to forget, I said, "No, only once"
21
I will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
22
And love like this can happen only once, only once
