Lyrics (Please Not) One More Time - Roger McGuinn

When the sun pours down like honey
From the sweet California sky
Then the haze and the smog, they're both soon forgotten

And it's the very same way with love now
When you're hurtin' from an old affair
Then 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 then I won't even ask her
'Cause it's hard enough for me to go down one more time

When it's 10 A.M. in Doraville it's only 7 A.M. in L.A.
She said, "I didn't want to wake you up just to warn ya"

So the taillights soon will flicker and the Georgia sun will rise
But I will be in the dark in California

Oh, I'm a two-time loser and I could sober up any boozer
Or at the very least make him looser in his prime
Oh, I never even called her, so why does everyone say I balled her?
I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time

Please don't say that it's magic 'cause it always ends up tragic
The act of love so sweet so soon becomes a crime
Oh, please don't make me taste it
Though it seems such a shame to waste it
I don't think I have the energy to go down one more time

One more time
One more time
