Lyrics:

Ah ah ah



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)



Once in a lifetime

(I just need to have your love, ah, ah, ah)

You have seen what I've seen

You will always swim for shore

(It's a gift from way above)

Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)

I'll never be in between (ah, ah, ah)

(I just can't say no)

Some things you just can't ignore

(I just can't say no, hey, hey, hey)...
