Been lucked out, broke a woman's heart
With only myself to blame
Fate ran its course, I suffered a loss
I learned a lesson in pain

Cheated, lied, I took love for granted
Ooh, I paid the price
I won't last a night
I won't make the same mistake twice

Once is enough, it's one time too many
The changes are rough, ooo, once is enough

Love went through such sudden change
Taken a turn for the worst
The joy turned to fear, the pain got so severe
Lord, I thought I was cursed

Get what you give, it comes around full circle
Ooh, I paid the price
Love so fast
I won't make the same mistake twice

Once is enough, it's one time too many
Changes are rough, ooo, once is enough
Changes are rough, ooo, once is enough
