Once You've Had It

(album: Heart Over Mind - 1985)

Now you're thinking that you've got it made
I can't say that I blame you
I don't want to rain on your parade
But let me tell you a thing or two

(One thing) One thing about his love (One thing)
(One thing) One thing you can't be certain of

Once you've had it (Once you've had his love)
You're gonna need it (You'll need it) every night and day (You're gonna need it every night)
So pray that you treat him right (You should listen good), you should listen good to my advice (Ooh)
'Cause who could be better (Better), better qualified?
The one he had (Until she told him), until she told him, "Goodbye"

Oh, you think his love would never end
I have to say I've got my doubts
If you keep throwing caution to the wind
You'll take the chance of finding out

(One thing) One thing about his love (One thing)
(One thing) One thing you can't be certain of

Once you've had it (Once you've had his love)
You're gonna need it (You'll need it) every night and day (You're gonna need it every night)
So pray that you treat him right (You should listen good), you should listen good to my advice (Ooh)
'Cause who could be better (Better), better qualified?
The one he had (Until she told him), until she told him, "Goodbye"

One thing (One thing about his love)
One thing (You can't be certain of)

Once you've had it (Once you've had his love)
You're gonna need it (You'll need it) every night and day (You're gonna need it every night)
So pray that you treat him right (You should listen good), you should listen good to my advice (Ooh)
'Cause who could be better (Better), better qualified?
The one he had (Until she told him), until she told him, "Goodbye"
Once you've had it (Once you've had his love)
You're gonna need it (You'll need it) every night and day (You're gonna need it every night)
So pray that you treat him right (You should listen good), you should listen good to my advice
