It Only Happened Once (We Were Going Down) RoyAllenHunt © February 4, 2007 It only happened once, we were out having fun didn’t mean to do you wrong, I really didn’t want to do you wrong. You were out of town nobody else was around. A few drinks later we were going down. It was just that one time. I can’t tell you a lie. But it wasn’t anything about you it was just something I thought I wanted to do. It only happened once, we were just having fun. Didn’t really mean to do you wrong. I didn’t want to do you wrong. I know it’s hard to take. And I Hope you don’t think it’s too late, too late for us. I wish you’d come back to try it all again. I wish you’d give me one more chance to prove that I can be everything you need. It only happened once. Why don’t you believe me? Why don’t you believe me? Remember when we used to be everything to each other the very air we lived and breathed? Remember how we made plans to travel all over the land and what we would do when we got back to our little house of romance. We’d shut the door on the world outside and in our loving nest we two would hide. It only happened once, we were just having fun. Please come back home! You were out of town nobody else was around a few drinks later we were going down, down, down. It was just that one time I’m not telling you a lie. No, I’m not lying. Alright, okay. Maybe I always felt this way. Maybe I even thought about it before and I hope I won’t do that anymore. Baby, please…don’t let us go. It only happened once, we were out having fun. Didn’t really mean to do you wrong. I didn’t want to do you wrong.
