One Shot At Love Lyrics - Ll Cool J

One shot, oh Lord, you know 

It's gonna be a lot of negative things surroundin' you 

Tryin' to pull you down 

But what you have to remember is 

It's up to you, it's your choice 

You only get one shot in life 

And you only get one shot at love 

Did you ever notice every time you fall in love 

And it seems like you finally met the perfect match 

Everything is perfect, it seems divine 

But for some strange reason, there's always a catch 

It's a one-way relationship, it hurts inside 

One person smirks while the other one cries 

Butterflies in the stomach of the one who's in love 

It cuts like a knife, the truth mixed with lies 

One shot 

(One shot at love) 

One shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

One shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

One shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

That's all you get 

Physical and mental, those are two different loves 

Physical's a moment, mental is forever 

If the physical fades and gets weak, all of a sudden 

Remember, it's the mental love that keeps you together 

You gotta be strong and endure the hard times 

'Cause after hard times, good times always follow 

And when you're kissin' and huggin' and makin' love 

Treat that person like there's no tomorrow 

One shot 

(One shot at love) 

One shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

That's all you get, baby 

One shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

One shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

That's all you get 

Jealousy, don't let it interfere 

Don't let it come in between 

The love you two share 'cause jealousy's a hateful god 

So merciless and mean 

And it's only job in life, is to ruin relationships 

And pit two people against one another 

And because of this god, the one you love so much 

Will no longer be your lover 

One shot 

(One shot at love) 

Aww baby, one shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

That's all you get, one shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

I mean this baby, one shot at love, one shot 

(One shot at love) 

That's all we 

I hope you understand what I just said 

All I'm sayin' is that you only get one shot at love in life 

And you have to hold on to that shot, take advantage of it 

'Cause when you lose it, it's gonna hurt real bad 

Take it from me, you only get one shot and I mean that 

One shot 

You only get, you only get, you only get one 

You only get, you only get, you only get one 

(One shot at love) 

You only get, you only get, you only get one 

You only get, you only get, you only get one 

(One shot at love) 

You only get, you only get, you only get one 

You only get, you only get, you only get one 

(One shot at love) 

You only get, you only get, you only get one 

You only get, you only get, you only get one
