Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity (My, my baby)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity (Somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(Yeah) Comes once in a life
[Verse 2]
I wanna tell a story 'bout a friend I know
He was on top, the star of the show
But he didn't remember all the things that we said
He let success go straight to his head
[Verse 3]
(Somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(Somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(My, my baby)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(Yeah) Comes once in a life
[Verse 4]
Take a lesson from a fool's advice
Opportunity knocks once, not twice
They say opportunity is like a father time
That it keeps on rolling, he'll pass you by
[Verse 5]
(Somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(Somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(My, my baby)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(Yeah) Comes once in a life
[Verse 6]
He works all day at the rise of sun
He don't come home until the night is done
Oh, the fool don't know, he has so much fun
But for him, the future is done
Yeah (Yeah) yeah (Yeah) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(Somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(He's my, my baby)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
(Somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity (Because he's my, my, my baby)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity (Yeah, somebody help him)
Opportunity, whoa, opportunity
