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
