One More Last Time

5. One More Last Time (3:25)

I was young, just sixteen

Wet behind the ears, kinda green

How was I to know He said he loved me so?

Woke up one morning and he was gone,

Left me all alone in the cold, cruel, dawn.

I made up my mind. Won’t happen one more time.

Made me a vow on a Gideon Bible

This girl here, she’s not liable

To do it again. I was through with men.

It’s the last time, I’ll ever fall in love.

Years went by and I grew older,

The world it turned a little bit colder.

Lost all my pretences, Down went my defenses.

Found that I could not ignore a curly haired fella in a plaid fedora.

He was sweet. Knocked me off my feet.

woke up one morning and he was gone,

Left me all alone in the cold, cruel, dawn.

That is when I knew I was finally through

Made me a vow on a Gideon Bible

This girl here, she’s not liable To do it again.

I was through with men.

It’s the last time, I’ll ever fall in love.

When we’re young we can be forgiven

For actin’ wild and free

But Fool me once shame on you

Fool me

Now, I’m older than old enough to know better

twice, shame on me

Ain’t in the market for no letterman’s sweater.

Proved I can live without a man.

And if one left me at break of day

Well I’d be tired of him anyway.

Just like fish in the kitchen sink

After three days men start to stink.

I don’t need no Gideon Bible

This girl here, she’s mighty liable,

To do it again. Bring on the men.

I may be rusty but I’m solid gold

And a little bit of lovin’ never gets old

Give me one last time to never fall in love.

I’d like one more last time.

To never fall in love.
