lyrics

Once in a blue moon

Once in a blue moon, will I feel this way
First you swing to me, then you swing away
Where's the steady love, that I need to feel
This is not true love, show me something real

I am made of iron, I am made of steel
Hard to break me down, hard to make me feel
Why did I give in, let you get so near
Weakness is a sin, love is what I fear

Once in a blue moon, will I feel this way
First you swing to me, then you swing away
Where's the steady love, that I need to feel
This is not true love, show me something real
