Just Once in My Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Carl Wilson] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Carl Wilson & Brian Wilson] I've given up on schemes Because everyone fell through I've given up so many things Don't ask me to give up on you And baby, baby [Chorus: Carl Wilson & Brian Wilson] 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 a good thing I found Don't let me down [Post-Chorus: Brian Wilson] Baby, say that you'll be staying [Verse 2: Carl Wilson] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Carl Wilson & Brian Wilson] 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 And baby, baby [Chorus: Carl Wilson & Brian Wilson] 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 a good thing I found Don't let me down [Post-Chorus: Brian Wilson] Baby, say that you'll be staying [Bridge: Carl Wilson] Every pot of gold Ain't so easy to find And if you'll stand by me Girl, I'll give you some of mine I can't give you the world But I'll work hard for you, girl Well, I'll work hard Every day Baby, don't leave me Now say you won't leave me Do this for me, baby [Chorus: Carl Wilson & Brian Wilson] 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 found Don't let me down [Outro: Brian Wilson] Baby, say that you'll be staying
