Just Once in My Life Lyrics

There's a lotta things I want,
A lotta 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 on to
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down

Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
'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
Every one 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
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'

That old pot of gold
Ain't so easy to find
But if you'll stand by me, girl,
I'll keep peace of mind
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 on to
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Hmm-mmm-hmm mmm-hmmm
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
The good thing I've found,
Don't let me down.......(fade)
