I hesitate to tempt love again
To call on love, when I'm feeling lonely
A space there to fill, with what I'm not sure
I'm afraid I've locked the door
The key to my heart is safe and far away
In a place known only to her
The Lord knows I've tried and tried to hide away
Only to fall again and again
Love come once, come twice, come three times
Loves come once to some but not to all
Love come once, come twice, come three times
Sometimes, love it comes so slow
She walked through the door
And asked me what it could be
Baby take a chance on love
Lover take a chance on me
The Summertime she would not play
We save it for another day
Put a dollar in your pocket baby
And let's be going home
For the key to my heart is safe and far away
In a place known only to one girl
Yes the Lord knows I've cried and cried so many nights away
Only to fall in love again and again and again
Oh woh oooh oh
Love come once, come twice, come three times
Loves come once to some but not to all
Love come once, come twice, come three times
Sometimes, love it comes so slow
Sometimes love
Sometimes, la, la, la love
Sometimes, love it comes so slow
