Song lyrics
Been lucked out
Broke a woman's heart
With only myself to blame
Fate ran its course
I suffered a loss
I learned a lesson in pain
Cheated, lied
I took love for granted
Oh, I paid the price
I won't last a night
I won't make the same mistake twice
Once is enough, it's one time too many
The changes are rough, oh, once is enough
Love went trough such sudden change
Taken a turn for the worst
The joy turned to fear
The pain got so severe
Lord, I thought I was cursed
Get what you give
It comes around full circle
Oh, I paid the price
Love so fast
I won't make the same mistake twice
Once is enough, it's one time too many
Changes are rough, oh, once is enough
Changes are rough, oh, once is enough
