Just Once in My Life
Yearning for Love: Alan Price's Plea in 'Just Once In My Life'
Lyrics
There's alot of things I want, a lot of things that I'd like to be.
Expressing a desire for various things in life.
But girl, I don't forsee a rags-to-riches story for me.
Doubting the likelihood of achieving a rags-to-riches success story.
There's just one little dream I've got to come true;
Having a specific dream that needs to come true.
There's just one round I've gotta win,
Referring to a crucial opportunity or challenge.
I can't be a loser with you.
Emphasizing the importance of not losing with the support of a significant other.
Baby, baby, Once In My Life, let me get what I want,
Expressing a plea to experience a particular desire at least once in life.
Girl, don't let me down! Just Once In My Life,
Urging the girl not to disappoint or let down.
let me hold on to one good thing I found!
Desiring to hold on to a positive aspect found in life.
Don't let me down! Baby, say that you'll be stayin',
Reiterating the importance of not being let down.
Cause I couldn't face a day if you weren't here by my side.
Highlighting the significance of the girl's presence in facing life.
If you went away then I'd be left without any pride.
Fearing a loss of pride if the girl were to leave.
I've given up on schemes, 'Cause all of them fell through,
Abandoning unrealistic plans due to past failures.
I've given up so many things, Don't ask me to give up on you.
Committing to not give up on the relationship despite past sacrifices.
Baby, baby, Once In My Life, let me get what I want,
Repeating the desire for a specific fulfillment in life.
Girl, don't let me down! Just Once In My Life,
Reiterating the plea not to be let down.
let me hold on to one good thing I found!
Desiring to hold on to a positive aspect found in life.
Don't let me down! Baby, say that you'll be stayin',
Emphasizing the importance of the girl staying.
That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find,
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding success (pot of gold).
But if you stand by me, I'll keep my peace of mind.
Ensuring peace of mind if the girl stands by the speaker.
I can't give you the world, But I I'll work hard for you, girl.
Acknowledging limitations in providing material wealth.
I'll work hard, ev'ryday, all my life.
Committing to hard work for the girl's sake.
So baby, please don't leave me, just do this for me.
Pleading for the girl not to leave, asking for a favor.
Once In My Life, let me get what I want,
Repeating the desire for a specific fulfillment in life.
Girl, don't let me down! Just Once In My Life,
Reiterating the plea not to be let down.
let me hold on to one good thing I found!
Desiring to hold on to a positive aspect found in life.
Don't let me down! Baby, say that you'll be stayin'.
Emphasizing the importance of the girl staying.
