(Please Not) One More Time - Al Kooper

When the sun pours down like honey

From the sweet California sky

Than the haze & the smog are both soon forgotten

And it’s the very same way with love now

When ya hurt from an old affair

Ya know the pain will disappear when a new love’s gotten

Don’t ask me why I do it

Cause you’ll only say «I knew it!»

And I’m played just like a fool everytime

Oh but if you know the answer

Than I won’t even ask her

Cause it’s hard enough for me to go down ONE MORE TIME

And when it’s 7 AM in Vacaville

It’s really 10 AM in GA

She said I didn’t wanna wake ya up just to warn ya

And so the taillights soon will flicker

And the Georgia sun will rise

But I will still be here in the dark in California

Well I’m a two-time loser

And that could sober up any boozer

Or at the very least make him looser in his prime

Oooh I never even called her

So why does everyone say I balled her

Cause I don’t think I have the energy

To go down ONE MORE TIME

Please don’cha say that it’s magic

Cause it always ends up tragic

The act of love so sweet will soon become a crime

And please doncha make me taste it

Though it seems such a shame to waste it

But I don’t think I have the energy

To go down one more time
