Just Once In My Life Lyrics

Artist: Righteous Brothers

There's a lotta things I want, a lotta 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

And baby, baby
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
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'

'Cause 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
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

And baby, baby
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
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'

That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find
But if you'll stand by me, girl, I'll keep peace of mind
I can't give you the world but I will work hard for you, girl
Yes, I'll work hard (everyday) all my life (you will see)
If you won't leave me (baby, don't leave)
Please don't leave me (oh no don't leave)
Just do this for me, baby

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
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Hmm-mmm-hmm mmm-hmmm

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
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down

every serious man toward his girl understands the emotional turmoil ,the difficulty he faces being the loyalty champion he is.

Us men need to let our women know how deep we feel for them. Bare our souls. After all we are part of each other. Being a musician these guys had it down to the bootstraps. Don't make em like this anymore. Are you listening Lady GaGa

I just rediscovered this song on Micky Dolenz's new CD "King for a Day" with Bill Medley singing with him. I remembered it from the Righteous Brothers heyday when I was a kid. OMG....I seriously started crying. It's such a powerful moving song...my heart hurt listening to it - the wisdom of my years just making it that much more meaningful. Carole King is a genius.

I heard Bill Medley discussing his long career recently. This is his own personal favorite! And just listening to those soulful lyrics, anyone can see why,,,

I love this song...my favorite RB song. It is so powerful and can touch you down deep in the soul. I think of my sweet and wonderful husband of 34 years as I hit replay again & again, oh the memories and feelings this one brings back and the promise of more beautiful memories to be made. Did I say I LOVE it!
