Just once
in my life
Em A
1. There's a lotta things I want, a lotta things that I'd like to be,
Em A
but,
girl, I don't foresee a rags to riches story for me.
Bb C
There's just one little dream
I've got to make come true,
Bb C G
there's
just one round I've got to win, I can't be a loser with you,
A
And baby, baby
...
A
Just once in my life let me get what I want,
G
girl, don't let me down !
A
Just once in my life let me hold on to
G A
the good thing I've found, don't
let me down.
Em
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'.
Em A
2. 'Cause I couldn't face the day if you weren't here by my side,
Em A
and
if you went away then I'd be left without any pride.
Bb C
I've given up on schemes
'cause every one fell through
Bb C G
I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up on you
A
And baby, baby ....

my life,
