You needed your freedom, I thought that I needed mine
We both were too young to know, we shouldn't let it go
We went our own ways, and time passed us by
Now when I think of those schooldays, I realize
Chorus:
Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one in a million)
Our love was that special kind that's so hard to find, but we didn't realize
Yesterday in and out another town, suddenly saw your face
Right out there in the crowd
You said you were happy, you got someone who treats you right
And I recognize that fire in your eyes, oh girl you should be mine, 'cos
(chorus)
Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime), one in a million (one in a million)
I've had my share of love, oh I know how to play the game
But there [a feeling gained], I've never been the same
No never been the same, never been the same
Once in a lifetime, one in a million
I know I'm just chasing dreams and I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Once in a lifetime, one in a million... (repeats out)
