I've got to try just one more time
To help you believe in me
Look into my eyes, check my face for lies
And you might see

My life's never been everything I want it to be
But with you I could change this bad luck
With you I could hold my head up
And darling, darling

Just this one time
I need someone to believe in me
To breathe it with me, get beneath it with me
Now sweet mama, just this one time

I've got to say the perfect thing
I can't make mistakes now, I've got to read your signs
I've gotta write those magic lines
You've got to hear

And I know I've given you every reason
In this whole round world to fear me now
But my love's a raging river
And you trapped it in your hands, sweet darlin'

Just this one time
I need someone to believe in me
Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just this one time I need someone
To leave it with me, to breathe it with me
Get beneath it with me
Now sweet mama, just this one time

Just this one time
I really need somebody
Just this one time
I really need someone

Just this one time
I  need someone to believe
Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just this one time
I really need somebody
Just this one time
I really need someone

Just this one time
I  need someone to believe
Believe in me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just this one time
I really need somebody
Just this one time
I really need someone

Just this one time
I need someone
