I promised me the next time you came 'round
I could look you in the eye and turn you down
But when you stand there in my door, it's such a sin
'Cause one more time I'm gonna let you in

I let you get to me one sweet word at a time
I let you get to me one sweet kiss at a time
And I know when it's over, it won't really be
'Cause every time I let you get to me

Your fingers feel like fire on my skin
Your misty eye satisfied again
And you said you just dropped by to say hello
And here we are where I didn't wanna go

I let you get to me one sweet word at a time
I let you get to me one sweet kiss at a time
And I know when it's over, it won't really be
'Cause every time I let you get to me

I let you get to me one sweet word at a time
I let you get to me one sweet kiss at a time
And I know when it's over, it won't really be
'Cause every time I let you get to me
