One Shot At Love - Lyrics by Ll Cool J


Lyrics
One shot

Oh lord

You know, it's gonna be a lot of negative things surroundin you

Tryin to pull you down

But what you have to remember is
it's up to you - it's your choice

You only get one shot in life
and you only get one shot at love


Did you ever notice - everytime you fall in love
and it seems like you finally met the perfect match

Everything is perfect, it seems divine
but for some strange reason, there's always a catch

It's a one-way relationship, it hurts inside

One person smirks while the other one cries

Butterflies in the stomach of the one whose in love

It cuts like a knife, the truth mixed with lies


One shot (one shot at love..)

One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)

One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)

One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)

That's all you get


Physical and mental, those are two different loves

Physical's a moment, mental is forever

If the physical fades and gets weak, all of a sudden

Remember, it's the mental love that keeps you together

You gotta be strong and endure the hard times

Cause af-ter hard times, good times, always follow

And when you're kissin and huggin and makin love
treat that person like there's no tomorrow


One shot (one shot at love..)

One shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)

That's all you get baby; one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)

One shot at love, one.. shot.. (one shot at love..)

That's all you get [sniff]


Jealousy - don't let it interfere

Don't let it come in between
the love you two share, cause jealousy's a hateful God

So merciless and mean

And it's only job in life, is to ruin relationships
and pit two people against, one another

And because of this God, the one you love so much
will no longer be your lover


One shot (one shot at love..)

Aww baby, one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)

That's all we get, one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)
I mean this baby, one shot at love, one shot (one shot at love..)

That's all..

I hope you understand what I just said

All I'm sayin is that you only get one shot at love in life
and you have to hold on to that shot, take advantage of it
cause when you lose it, it's gonna hurt real bad

Take it from me

You only get one shot, and I mean that

One shot


You only get you only get you only get one [2X]

One shot at love..

You only get you only get you only get one [2X]

One shot at love..

You only get you only get you only get one [2X]

One shot at love..

You only get you only get you only get one [2X]

One shot at love.. [fades]
