(Please Not)One More Time

When the sun pours down like honey

From the sweet California sky

Then the haze and the smog they are both soon forgotten

And it's the very same way with love now

When you're hurtin from an old affair

Then the pain will disappear when a new love's gotten

Don't ask me why I do it

Cause you'll only say I knew it

And I'm played just like a fool everytime (everytime)

Oh but if you know the answer

Then I won't even ask her

Cause it's hard enough for me to go down one more time

When it's 10 a.m. in Doraville

It's only 7 a.m. in L.A.

She said I didn't want to wake you up just to warn you

So the taillights soon will flicker

And the Georgia sun will rise

But I'll be in the dark in California

Oh I'm a two-time loser

And that could sober up any boozer

Or at the very least make him looser

In his prime (in his prime)

And I never even called her

So why does everyone say I balled her

I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time

Please don't say that it's magic

Cause it always ends up tragic

The act of love so sweet so soon becomes a crime

(becomes a crime)

Oh please don't make me tast it

Though it seems such a shame to waste it

I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time

One more time, one more time

One more time
