Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 thing I got to make come true
It's just one round I've got to win
I can't be a loser with you
[Verse 2]
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
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
[Verse 3]
Baby, say that you'd 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
[Verse 4]
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
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
[Verse 5]
Baby, say that you'd be staying
That old pot of gold
Ain't so easy to find
[Verse 6]
But if you'll stand by me
Girl, I'll keep peace of mind
I can't give you the world
But I'll work hard for you, girl
I'll work hard (Everyday), all my life (If you will say)
You won't leave me (Baby, don't leave me)
Please don't leave me (Baby, don't leave me)
Just do this for me, baby
[Verse 7]
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
A good thing I've found
Don't let me down
[Verse 8]
Baby, say that you'd be staying
Oh yeah
[Verse 9]
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
The good thing I've found
