Just Once in My Life Lyrics

One, two, three

There′s a lot of things I want
A lot of things that I'd like to be
But, girl, I don′t foresee
A rags-to-riches story for me

I've given up on schemes
'Cause everyone fell through
I′ve given up so many things
Don′t ask me to give up on you
And baby, baby

Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold on to
A good thing I found
Don′t let me down
Baby, say that you'll be staying

I couldn′t face the day
If you weren't here by my side
And if you went away
Then I′d be left without any pride

There's just one little dream
I've got to make come true
There′s just one round I′ve got to win
I can't be a loser with you
And baby, baby

Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl, don′t let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold on to
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
Baby, say that you′ll be staying

That old pot of gold (ooh)
Ain't so easy to find (ooh)
And if you′ll stand by me (ooh)
Girl, I'll keep peace of mind (ooh)

Ooh, I can't give you the world
But I′ll work hard for you, girl
Well, I′ll work hard every day
Baby, don't leave me
Now say you won′t leave me
Do this for me, baby

Once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold on to
A good thing I found
Don′t let me down
Baby, say that you'll be staying

Thanks, fellas
