One Hit (To The Body) Lyrics


You fell out of the clear blue sky
To the darkness below
The smell of your flesh excites me
My blood starts to flow
So help me God

You burst in in a blaze of light
You unzippered 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
One hit to the body
Sure went straight to the mark
So help me God

It's one shot when you love me
One shot when you leave me
I don't need no security
I just need some peace

And it's one hit to the body
It comes straight from the heart
One voice calls out my name
It sure went straight to the mark

One punch and you knocked me down
Tore my defenses apart
One round took me out of the game
You did me some permanent harm

It took just one hit
It took just one hit
It ain't enough for me
It ain't enough for me
It ain't enough for me
It's hurting me baby

Oh your love is a sweet addiction
I can't clean you out of my veins
It's a life long addiction
That has damaged my brain

It took just one hit to the body
To tear my defenses apart
One hit to the body
Sure went straight to the mark

One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
To the body, to the body
Come straight from the heart

One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart

One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart
That's all it took, that's all it took
So help me so help me so help me God
So help me so help me so help me God

One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart

One Hit (To The Body) Song Chart
  • Jimmy Page played lead guitar. He was in the area because of Live-Aid, a huge benefit concert that reunited Led Zeppelin members Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones. On this, Jimmy took the role of session guitarist, which he used to be. Jimmy Cliff, Patty Scialfa and Tom Waits also contributed to the album. (thanks, Joel - Chicago, IL)
  • Producer Steve Lillywhite's wife, Kirsty MacColl, sang backup. She also performed on "Harlem Shuffle."
  • The lyrics are not literal. The song is about a figurative punch from an emotionally charged love affair.
  • This opens with a clash of acoustic and electric guitars. The acoustic was Ron Wood's idea - he got a writing credit for it.
  • The video showed Mick Jagger and Keith Richards jabbing at each other. They were feuding at the time over Mick's solo career, so it wasn't much of a stretch.
  • When this album came out, a group called the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) was trying to get any music they considered offensive banned from the airwaves. They came up with a list of 15 artists they really didn't like and called them the "Filthy 15." The Stones were a famous band with some raunchy songs, but the PMRC left them off this list, but did manage to include Sheena Easton and Cyndi Lauper. In order to stay out of the controversy, The Stones record label released this album in a wrapper that hid any offensive words.
