I spent my hungry young years running wild
There was so much for me to do
And I spent cities like a handful of change
But I never quit looking for you
One time, one time only
Been such a long time lonely
One time for all time it will be
Been waiting such a long time
Each time has been the wrong time
Until you came to me
I looked for you
You in every face I saw
And could not find you anywhere
Then finally one day I quit trying at all
And looked up to see you standing there
One time, one time only
Been such a long time lonely
One time for all time it will be
Been waiting such a long time
Each time has been the wrong time
Until you came to me
I don't mind telling you what's on my mind
It's no big secret anymore
I've got no plans at all for moving on
That's one thing that I was never looking for
One time, one time only
Been such a long time lonely
One time for all time it will be
Been waiting such a long time lonely


a long time each time has been the wrong time until you came to me
