Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There are things I can't tell you
I love you too much to say
I stand undressed, but I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am
[Verse 2]
Understand that it is hard to tell ya that I've given all
I have to give
And I can understand your feelin's but then everybody has
A life to live
[Verse 3]
Once in a lifetime, you have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in a lifetime, I'll never be in between
Some things you just can't ignore
[Verse 4]
Now reach out, you can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years or days, and the minutes
Yeah, time is such a puzzling grace
[Verse 5]
Understand that it is hard to tell ya that I've given all
I have to give
And I can understand your feelin's but then everybody has
A life to live
[Verse 6]
Once in a lifetime, you have seen what I've seen (Yeah, baby)
You will always swim for shore
Once in a lifetime, I'll never be in between (Yeah, baby)
Some things you just can't ignore
[Verse 7]
Once in a lifetime, you have seen what I've seen (Yeah, baby) (Ah)
You will always swim for shore
Once in a lifetime, I'll never be in between (Yeah, baby) (Ah)
Some things you just can't ignore
[Verse 8]
I just need to have your love, I just can't say no
It's a gift from way above, I just can't say no
It's the one big difference, if there's one thing I can have
I just can't say no, I just can't say no, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 9]
Once in a lifetime, you have seen what I've seen (Yeah, baby)
You will always swim for shore
Once in a lifetime, I'll never be in between (Yeah, baby)
Some things you just can't ignore
(I just can't say no, I just can't say no, hey, hey ,hey)
[Verse 10]
Once in a lifetime, you have seen what I've seen (Yeah, baby) (Ah)
(I just need to have your love)
You will always swim for shore (It's a gift from way above)
Once in a lifetime, I'll never be in between (Yeah, baby) (Ah)
Some things you just can't ignore
(I just can't say no, I just can't say no, hey, hey ,hey)
[Verse 11]
Once in a lifetime, you have seen what I've seen (Yeah, baby) (Ah)
(I just need to have your love)
You will always swim for shore (It's a gift from way above)
Once in a lifetime, I'll never be in between (Yeah, baby) (Ah)
Some things you just can't ignore
(I just can't say no, I just can't say no, hey, hey ,hey)
