One More Time - Steve Harley

When the alcohol begins to dim the mind

And the fighting of the night is forgotten

I’ll apologize sincerely and beg you to be kind

And I’ll plead to be forgiven one more time

When the snow has all melted in the morning

With the agonizing conversation

You attack me when you want to like a leopardess from behind

And I’ll promise never to shame you one more time

You tell me what is needed and you know I need to know

'Cause it’s tearing up my body and brain and something is gonna have to go

When I wake up in the morning and can’t remember

How the thunder came a-rolling into the room

And there was Jesus Christ beckoning me, I wouldn’t even give him the time

You say you hate me then say you love me one more time

You tell me what is needed and you know I need to know

'Cause it’s tearing up my body and brain and something is gonna have to go

The somersaults of the night can be an illusion

But escapism seems the only way to go

And if the aftermath is violent, that’s the time to heed the sign

Oh but I’m thirsty, give me one more drink one more time

I said I’m thirsty, pass the bottle one more time

Oh God I’m thirsty, give me one more drink one more time, oh
