Vandross, Luther - Once You Know How Lyrics






One day I was cryin'
'Cause I thought that
Love was something that would
Never come my way, no way

That's when somebody told me not to worry
They said love would surely one day be my friend
And I would never have to be without it again
And it's because

Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget how to love

I'm in love, I'm in love
Yes, I am in love
I can love, I can love
Ooh, yeah, yeah

Don't you know that
Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget how to love

Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget

Once you know how, you just never forget how to
It may seem kinda crazy but it's a shown off thing
Been tested and found true
Once you know how, you just never forget how to love

To love, they say, they say
Once you know how you just never forget
Once you know how you just never forget

    Do y'all remember these days when the music sounded like this good days gone by no school shooting no Mall shootings no Facebook no Google no Chrome no hunt for the Red October million-dollar bill yeah I said it this was just a good time in music and life but we were going through some things in the 80s in late 70s and 90s but if we could have just stayed on the same track from the 70s 80s and 90s this Millennium joke. It is all ridiculous but we have to evolve but when this type of music was playing it was some good days y'all know this is a beautiful song but really anything Luther sang was ridiculously beautiful rest in peace Luther I still love the night I fell in love album the whole album🥂❤🎶🎤👍👍👌👌👏👏 seems like there's been a million years since 1980 and 81 and on Down the Line we sure treated people differently back then people were so nice and kind even Million Dollar business men would get the door for you now people are just money jerk hungry Amazon a tariff on China really damn let's go back to love❤ before it's too late everybody stay prayed up pray for the people in the hurricane even 90 91 wasn't it Andrew that hit Florida The Golden Girls are on their way out it was a damn good run the best show back then seem like we stuck together I may have been wrong when everybody was crazy about a beeper in the first flip phones were few and VCRs and walkmans you thought you were a truly in the game damn🙋‍♂️🤔 beautiful memories.
