Verse 1
Her name is Lorraine, small town girl who likes to skate
She digs Coldplay and that one song by T-Pain
So I guess HipHop-wise, she isn't that fine
But we're talking looks and with that she's a nine
Just shy of a dime, she's dating the homie Kwame
He likes her a lot, smiles even when he should frown
Too bad he's gassed, thinking this relationship could last
Making the same mistake I had of falling too fast
Because in time, Lorraine proved she was a kite
Had to roam about, feel the rush of flight
And like a good bird of prey, she had me in her sights
The one dude who knew but wouldn't put up a fight
Less preoccupied with what's right, more into what might
So it was inevitable that I fall to her charm
And so we met for drinks on that Friday night...

Chorus
And then the sun set...
And I looked into her eyes
And then I asked "How 'bout it?"
And she replied:
"Why not? But Just This Once..."
"Yeah, that makes sense"

Verse 2
So now we caught in the mix and it twists and it turns
Trying to claw our way out but quickly we learned
That good habits die young but our vices live long
This is why after school I'm meeting Lorry for lunch
It's getting harder to look in the mirror, yet I claim to see clearer
Behind a false wall of lies; it helps me sleep better
Cheating with my best friend's girl ha, thinking I'm clever
Oddly enough the fruit's gotten bitter
Yet still I go in, deeper than Jay E
Lose myself in that body while she stays on the pill
We not tryna make babies but we act like it lately
And to be honest, it feels great so my no turns to maybe
So we indulge in lust, deep down I admit it's fun
But God, I used to clown those who would do this wrong
But my life sucks so I gotta get some...

Chorus
And then the sun set...
And I looked into her eyes
And then I asked "How 'bout it?"
And she replied:
"Why not? But Just This Once..."
"Yeah, Alright"

Verse 3
We like to look at our lives and make suppositions
Like ''I'd never do that!'' no matter the conditions
But the real deal is, until we face that case
We never really know what choices we'll make
I never would have guessed that I would be ''that guy.''
Who could look in his friend's face and still act like
His girl wasn't half mine, if I had half a spine
I'd have made her pick sides but nah she ate her pie
And had it, I wish I could say I came out to Kwame
And that he never even knew his girl was effing around
Or blame it on my homies who told me to go with the flow
But this is is life: if only that's how the story would go...
Just.This.Once
