One Time

The dance of boys and girls. selection, rejection... move on.

I saw you dancin'

under the lights

You were smilin';

everything right

I felt romantic

so I walked over your way.

But you saw just one

of a thousand guys

Oh baby, just one time

all it takes to find

just give, oh just give in

just this one time...

I commented about your dress

You asked what's wrong

But I can see in your eyes

that it might go my way

I saw that look in your eye

asked you to dance, 

givin' nothing away

but always looking

for that one time

just give me the one time

baby, one time and I'll

take us away...

so baby, just one time

all it takes to find

just give, oh just give me

one time...

I couldn't talk over the sounds

the beat was moving 

both of us around, I was

happy for this one time.

When it was over, 

the words that I found

made you smile and, 

you didn't push me away.

you gave me one time...

and we now are forever

together, we are, 

for that all time baby.

cuz you gave me that one time

just one time, baby....

one time, one time, one time

and it took us both away...

Author's Note

Feeling in a pop song mood. hope you like it. For those of you who watch 'The Voice' on NBC, I'm hearing Trevyn Hunt singing this.

i immediately ventured country music on this one and had that scene you so vividly described playing like a music video in my mind. well done!

Just one time sounds like a divine dance together- surely once won't be enough?

Christ Mark you are an old romantic. Just like moi! but ladies these days see us as expendable, like Durex. Nice piece on trying to move in on a relationship.
