You fell out of the clear blue sky To the darkness below The smell of your flesh excites me My blood starts to flow So help me God You burst in in a blaze of light You unzippered the dark One kiss took my breath away One look lights up the stars And it's it's one hit to the body It comes straight from the heart One hit to the body Sure went straight to the mark So help me God It's one shot when you love me One shot when you leave me I don't need no security I just need some peace And it's one hit to the body It comes straight from the heart One voice calls out my name It sure went straight to the mark One punch and you knocked me down Tore my defenses apart One round took me out of the game You did me some permanent harm It took just one hit It took just one hit It ain't enough for me It ain't enough for me It ain't enough for me It's hurting me baby Oh your love is a sweet addiction I can't clean you out of my veins It's a life long addiction That has damaged my brain It took just one hit to the body To tear my defenses apart One hit to the body Sure went straight to the mark One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart One hit to the body To the body, to the body Come straight from the heart One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart That's all it took, that's all it took So help me so help me so help me God So help me so help me so help me God One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart
