 B                    A         D
You fell out of the clear blue sky
E                  B
To the darkness below
The smell of your flesh excites me
Blood starts to flow, so help me God

You burst in, in a blaze of light
You unzipper the dark
One kiss took my breath away
One look lights up the stars
And it's, it's one hit to the body
It comes straight from the heart
(Straight from the heart)
One hit to the body
Shook me straight to the mark, so help me God
One more from the body, one more straight from the heart
Yeah, it's one shot when you love me
One shot when you leave
I don't need no security
I just need me some peace
And it's one hit to the body
Come straight from the heart
(Straight from the heart)
One voice calls out my name
Shook me straight to the mark
(Straight from the heart)

   E
  One punch and you knocked me down
   D                 A
  Tore my defenses apart
 E
  One round took me out of the game
       D                     A
  You did me some permanent harm
                    B A B
  It took just one hit
  B                   A B
  It took just one hit
  B                     A D
  It ain't enough for me
             B          A D
  It ain't enough for me
  (Enough for me)
             B
  It ain't enough for me
         A              D      E
  It's hurting, it's frighten hey!

Oh, your love is just sweet addiction
I can't clean you out of my veins
It's a life long affliction
That has damaged my brain
It took just one hit to the body
To tear my defenses apart
(Straight from the heart)
One hit to the body
Sure went straight to the mark
(Straight from the heart)
One hit to the body
That comes straight from the heart
(Straight from the heart)
One hit to the body, to the body, to the body
That comes straight from the heart

One more straight from the body
One more straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
One more from the body
One more straught from the heart
Straight from the heart
That's all it took
That's all it took
Just one hit straight from the heart
So help me, so help me, so help me God
So help me. so help me now

One more from the body
One more straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
One more from the body
One more straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
One more from the body
One more straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
