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
Understand that it is hard to tell you That I've given all I have to give And I can understand your feelings But then everybody has a life to live
Once in a lifetime You have seen what I've seen You will always swim for shore Once in my lifetime (hey, hey) I'll never be in between Some things you just can't ignore
Now reach out, you can touch me I'll let you have my life to share Years, the days and the minutes Yeah time has such a puzzling grace
Understand that it is hard to tell you That I've given all I have to give And I can understand your feelings But then everybody has a life to live
Once in a lifetime You have seen (ah, ah, ah) what I've seen You will always swim for shore Once in my lifetime (hey, hey) I'll never be (ah, ah, ah) in between Something you just can't ignore
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 (Ooh) it's the one big difference If there's one thing I can't have I just can't say no, I just can't say no Hey, hey, hey
Once in a lifetime You have seen what I've seen You will always swim for shore Once in my lifetime (hey, hey) I'll never be in between (I just can't say no) Some things you just can't ignore (I just can't say no, hey, hey, hey)
