Lyrics
Do that to me one more time
Once is never enough with a man like you
Do that to me one more time
I can never get enough of a man like you
Oh, kiss me, like you just did
Oh baby
Do that to me once again
Pass that by me one more time
Once just isn’t enough for my heart to hear
Wha-ha-ha, tell it to me one more time
I can never hear enough while I got ya near
Who-ho-ho, say those words again like you just did
Oh baby
Tell it to me once again
Do that to me one more time
Once is never enough with a man like you
Wha-ha-ha, do that to me one more time
I can never get enough of a man like you
Who-ho-ho, kiss me like you just did
Oh baby
Do that to me once again
Who-ho-ho, baby
Do that to me once again
Who-ho-ho, baby
Do that to me one more time
One more time
(Do it again) One more time
(Do it again) One more time
(Do it again) One more time
(Do it again) One more time
(Do it again) One more time
(Do it again) One more time
(Do it again)
