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 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
Oh, girl, I'll keep peace of mind
I can't give you the world (no, no, no)
Oh, but I will work hard for you, girl (I'll work so hard, yeah)
Honey, I will work hard (every day)
All my life (you will see)
If you won't leave me (baby, don't leave)
Please don't leave me (baby, don't leave)
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'
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Just once in my life
