Just Once in My Life

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

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 onto

This good thing I found

Don't let me down

Baby, say that you'll be staying

'Cause 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

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 onto

This good thing I found

Don't let me down

Baby, say that you'll be staying

That old pot of gold

Ain't so easy to find

But if you'll stand by me

Girl, I'll give you some of mine

I can't give you the world

But I will work hard for you, girl

Yes, I'll work hard all my life

If you won't leave me

Please don't leave me

Just 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 onto

This good thing I found

Don't let me down

Baby, say that you'll be staying
