Lyrics

JUST ONCE

Sometimes ordinary people
Can lead ordinary lives
As they go about their routine in a daze

I can understand their reasons
But perhaps there's something
I don't know

Can an solitary person
Wo is searching for romance
Find an isolated someone
Just like me?

I can't be the only one
Odds are more than two to one
That this lost and lonely feeling
Just can't be

Just Once
Wishing someone comes my way
Always hoping for the chance
Loving me enought to stay

Just Once
Dreaming of his tender lips
Losing myself in his eyes and
Knowing I just can't resist

Wishing all the time for someone
Waiting for that special sign
Then I saw him in the shadows
Now I want to make him mine

Just Once
Acting on an inside hunch
Clinging to my every whim and
Holding on again
Just Once

Holding on again
Just Once
