Lyrics

V1
I see the look in your eyes, Baby, and tears I can?t erase.
You been sneakin? ?round on the side, I can see it in your face.
A man knows when a woman?s leavin?, ?though he doesn?t like to tell himself
That all the lovin?s over, now she?s found somebody else.
But I have to ask you, Darlin?, before you walk out of my life,
Would there be any harm, Baby, spending one more night as my wife?

CHORUS
(And) Love me one time, like you used to do.
Love me one time, I know you remember it, too,
How we used to make love, all night long,
It wasn?t so long ago, and I know this can?t be wrong.
Won?t you love me one time before you go?

V2
Sometimes a man?s a wreck inside, but his heart?s still a burnin? flame.
He tries to block out the pain, but all he can do is call out your name.
I have to ask you Darlin?, before you cross that line,.
Dance with me again, pretend that you?re still mine.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Do you remember, Baby, lovin? me all night?
You used to love me all the time, we never used to fight.
So now, before the two of us are just a memory,
Give me an hour, one more day, give me one more night!

LAST CHORUS
(So) Love me one time, like you used to do.
Love me one time, I know you remember it, too,
How we used to make love, all night long,
It wasn?t so long ago, and I know this can?t be wrong.

Love me one time, (before you go),
(Won?t you) Love me one time,
Love me one time, then maybe you won?t want to go.
