The Chad Mitchell Trio
One Time and One Time Only
[Verse 1]
I spent my hungry young years runnin' wild
There was so much for me to do
And I spent cities like a handful of change
But I never quit lookin' for you

[Chorus]
One time and one time only
Been such a long time lonely
One time for all time it will be
Been waitin' such a long time
Each time has been the wrong time
Until you came to me

[Verse 2]
I looked for you in every face I saw
And could not find you anywhere
Then finally one day I quit tryin' at all
And looked up to see ya standin' there

[Chorus]
One time and one time only
Been such a long time lonely
One time for all time it will be
Been waitin' such a long time
Each time has been the wrong time
Until you came to me
[Verse 3]
I don't mind tellin' you what's on my mind
It's no big secret anymore
I've have no plans at all for movin' on
That's one thing that I was never lookin' for

[Chorus]
One time and one time only
Been such a long time lonely
One time for all time it will be
Been waitin' such a long time
Each time has been the wrong time
Until you came to me
