once in a lifetime

you've had promises broken

you've heard lie upon lie

you've been hurting all over

in your search for the perfect guy

time and again you pick 'em

time and again you're wrong

time right now to believe

that a real love's gonna come along

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

makes up for all mistakes

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

is all it takes

real love waits its moment

real love won't play games

doesn't need a fuss or a fanfare

never mind what the magazines claim

you've been lost in a dreamworld

waitin' for the earth to move

wondering why the bells aren't ringin'

don't you know real love's got a whole other groove?

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

makes up for all mistakes

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

is all it takes

in just one magic moment

suddenly you'll fall

anyone with a heart wide open

can win it all

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

makes up for all mistakes

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

is all it takes

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

we're blessed with the real stuff

sometimes once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime

is just enough

is just enough
