You Gotta Sin to Get Saved
Album - 22 giugno 1993 - Debaser id 14488

I've got a thing for you baby always have
Never knew how far my heart would take me
She's my friend but she treats you bad
Can't let that happen to such a decent man
If you let me in, let me stay a while
I'll do more than make you smile
Come to me child

I'm gonna soothe you
Hey baby
I know just what to do
My baby

Don't worry, I won't do you any harm
My touch is gentle, my body is warm
Lift your head, feel my cool hand on your face
Let me kiss your tears away
If you let me in, honey let me stay
Lay your head on my breast
I'll do the rest

I'm gonna soothe you
Hey baby
I know just what to do
My baby

Can you feel it
Comin� down like a trance
Forget your head remember how to dance
Can you feel it
Comin down like healin�
So deep, it just couldn't be a sin, now Baby

Walk on in, baby come on in
Make yourself at home in my arms

I'm gonna soothe you
Hey baby
I know just what to do
My baby

I’ve never been obliged 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
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
But 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 till I’m saved
I will love you from my grave
And love like this can happen Only Once

All the men who try 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 going down like Jezebel and my body aches like hell
I share my bed just to forget
I said no Only Once

I will love you till I’m saved
I will love you from my grave
And love like this can happen
Only Once, Only Once

Now you know me
You know how proud I am
And what I've gotta tell you now, won't be easy to say
Before I left your side, oh I was so happy then
But I've been so lonely since I went away

Chorus:
I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
Such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's somethin' in my soul
That will always lead me back to you

What can I say now
Sorry's just not good enough
I wouldn't blame you if you hurt me
Like I hurt you then
But who else can I turn to, oh babe I'm beggin' you
Won't you reach out for my dyin' soul
And let me live again

Chorus

Oh baby, you know I need you
I'm sayin' that I need you
I just can't make it all alone
I just can't make it by myself
