Traffic jams, Concorde drones 
TV's and radios drown me out 
You won't change slamming doors 
Temper, temper, that tongue of yours, drown me out 

I've told you once when it comes to love 
I'm like a swan, I only love once 
I've told you once push comes to shove 
I'm like a swan 
I only love, only love, only love once 

Dumbells crash, babies cry 
A thousand voices, mostly lies, drown me out 
The underground, Marble Arch 
The deafening snap of breaking hearts, drown me out 

I've told you once when it comes to love 
I'm like a swan, I only love once 
I've told you once push comes to shove 
I'm like a swan 
I only love, only love, only love once 

Barking dogs, the lonely roam 
The great unlaid making their way home, drown me out 

I've told you once when it comes to love 
I'm like a swan, I only love once 
I've told you once push comes to shove 
I'm like a swan 
I only love, only love, only love once 

I've told you once when it comes to love 
I'm like a swan, I only love once 
I've told you once push comes to shove 
I'm like a swan 
I only love, only love, only love once
