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 (everyday) all my life (you will see)

If you won't leave me (baby, don't leave)

Please don't leave me (oh no 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'

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

Just once in my life let me get what I want

Girl, don't let me down
