Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then we parted broken-hearted and now all the fun is through
You can't hide it, keep it quiet me needin' you, you haven't heard
Don't deny it, we can try it…I need your lovin' too
You had your hand in hers, you were smilin'
Oh baby don't you know it, I can smile all the while baby I'll be cryin'
Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mountin'?
Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'
Just one more time, can't you see what it's doin' to me
Oh what ya do, what you're doin' to me
I got the feelin' that you're runnin', run too far from me
No, I don't care if she's there, she ain't got nothin' on me
Oh she can have ya, I just want you one more time baby listen to me
Just one more time I gotta feel your arms around me
Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mountin'?
Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'
Just one more time, can't you see what it's doin' to me
No, I don't care if she's there, she ain't got nothin' on me
Oh she can have ya, I just want you one more time baby give it to me
Just one more time I gotta feel your arms around me
Just one more time, can't you feel the pressure mountin'?
Just one more time, oh baby, oh darlin'
Just one more time, I gotta see you, I gotta see you
One more time, oh-oh baby, oh-oh darlin'
Just one more, one more time, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
