One More Time

ONE MORE TIME

I’ve made a perfect mess againDone it since I don’t know when

Do it over and over again

Then I do it one more time

Feels so good to make a mess

Mama said she tore her dress

Father said to go confess

Chaos feels like home, I guess

Chaos feels like home, so

I’m gonna do it

One more time

Baby cries for loving arms

Why should I learn other charms?

Use this one til I buy the farm

Use this one til I buy the farm

Oh I’m gonna use it

Might as well do it

One more time

How can you say that you know me

When I don’t even know myself?

How can you say that you know me

When I don’t even know myself?

Never seen a person change

Might grow some - ain’t the same

Named at birth, die with this name

Named at birth, die with this name

They gave me this name, So 

I’m gonna use it 

one more time

How can you say that you love me

When I don’t even love myself?

How can you say that you love me

When I don’t hardly love myself?

(And you know it, so)

Please don’t bring your love my way

Please don’t bring your love my way

No, don’t bring your love my way

Until I get a hold of myself.

Can’t say much for a life of pain

Not much comfort in the game

But you can’t win if you ain’t playin’

You can’t win if you ain’t playin’

No you can’t win

Might as well do it

One more time

I resolve to do my best

Drop the sauce.   Join the blessed

What’s the harm in a little rest?

What’s the harm in a little rest?

Tell me: what’s the harm

Go on and do it

What could the harm be?

Come on, just do it

Just one more

One more time
