Carole King — Just Once in My Life

[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 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 Baby, baby [Chorus] 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 one good thing I've found Don't let me down Baby, say that you'll be stayin' [Verse 2] 'Cause I couldn't face the day if you weren't here by my side And if you went away 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 Baby, baby [Chorus] Just once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down I said just once in my life Let me hold on to one good thing I've found Don't let me down Baby, say that you'll be stayin' [Bridge] That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find But if you stand by me, yeah, girl, I'll have 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 (You'll see) You won't leave me (Please don't leave me) Just do this for me, baby [Chorus] 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 one good thing I've found Don't let me down Baby, say that you'll be stayin' (Mmm hmm, oh) [Outro] Just once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down I said just once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down
