Lyrics

[00:01.23] There's a lotta things I want,
[00:04.01] a lotta things that I'd like to be
[00:13.07] But girl I don't foresee a rags to riches story for me
[00:24.61] There's just one little dream
[00:28.33] I've got to make come true
[00:30.31] There's just one round I've got to win,
[00:33.18] I can't be a loser with you
[00:37.26]
[00:39.15] And baby, baby
[00:41.57] Just once in my life let me get what I want
[00:46.39] Girl, don't let me down
[00:51.71] Just once in my life let me hold on to
[00:57.14] The good thing I've found, don't let me down
[01:03.55] Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
[01:08.78]
[01:09.41] 'Cause I couldn't face the day if you weren't here by my side
[01:20.59] And if you went away then I'd be left without any pride
[01:30.83] I've given up on schemes 'cause every one fell through
[01:36.87] I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up on you
[01:43.61]
[01:45.49] And baby, baby
[01:47.70] Just once in my life let me get what I want
[01:52.60] Girl, don't let me down
[01:58.06] Just once in my life let me hold on to
[02:03.12] The good thing I've found, don't let me down
[02:09.77] Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
[02:15.66]
[02:21.24] That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find
[02:32.30] But if you'll stand by me, girl, I'll keep peace of mind
[02:43.57] I can't give you the world but I will work hard for you, girl
[02:53.55] Yes, I'll work hard (everyday) all my life (you will see)
[02:56.73] If you won't leave me (baby, don't leave)
[02:59.55] Please don't leave me (oh no don't leave)
[03:02.68] Just do this for me, baby
[03:05.72]
[03:06.08] Just once in my life let me get what I want
[03:10.26] Girl, don't let me down
[03:16.16] Just once in my life let me hold on to
[03:20.62] The good thing I've found, don't let me down
[03:27.01] Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
[03:32.82]
[03:44.17] Just once in my life let me get what I want
[03:48.88] Girl, don't let me down
[03:54.29] Just once in my life let me hold on to
[03:59.54] The good thing I've found, don't let me down
