There's a lot of things I want, a lot of things that I'd like to be
But girl, I don't forsee a rags-to-riches story for me
There's just one little dream I've got to come true
There's just one round I've gotta win,
I can't be a loser with you

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

Cause I couldn't face a day if you weren't here by my side
If you went away then I'd be left without any pride
I've given up on schemes, 'cause all of them fell through,
I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up on you

Baby, 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 one good thing I 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 stand by me, I'll keep my peace of mind
I can't give you the world, but I I'll work hard for you, girl
I'll work hard, ev'ryday, all my life
So baby, please don't leave me, just do this for me

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