Lovers, they come and go 

Just like the seasons

And lately, it's learnin' to know 

When it's the real one

It may be close at hand

Don't try to understand it all 



'Cause once in a lifetime

First love, they tell you to wait

For the right one

And then it's too late

Next time, just leave it to fate

You only get a chance

Once in a lifetime

Mmm 



Your heart aches

For every day, anticipatin'

Just hold on, your time will come

'Cause you've been waitin'

Don't let it bring you down

Your second chance will come around



'Cause once in a lifetime

First love, they tell you to wait

For the right one

And then it's too late

Next time, just leave it to fate

You only get a chance

Once in a lifetime

Yeah, eh



Don't worry cause 

It's bound to happen

It ain't easy when

Your life is passin' you by

It doesn't matter how you try

You know it's just a state of mind

Yeah, yeah



First love, they tell you to wait

For the right one

And then it's too late

Next time, just leave it to fate

You only get a chance

Once in a lifetime



Once in a lifetime

Once in a lifetime

Mmm
