Yeah something like a strong wind is coming over me It's got a hold of me, yeah Thinking and doing things I shouldn't be I really shouldn't be Give it one more call It's one more whatcha doin' right now? It's one more trip to my side of town and you walk right in One more here we go again One more drink leads to another You slide up close to me Tear the t-shirts off each other Your hands all over me I tell myself I'm not in love But one more time is not enough One last kiss and then you're a goner And I'm here wishing you could stay a little longer So calm and so cool, yeah I try to be Like it don't bother me The last time was the last time Until I'm all alone then I'm picking up the phone One more call It's one more whatcha doin' right now?
