[Verse 1]
When you found somebody new, I thought I never would
Forget you, for I thought then I never could
But time has taken all the pains away
Until now, I'm down to hurtin' once a day

[Chorus]
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long

[Verse 2]
I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
She lost the one she loved, then slowly lost her mind
She sat around and cried her life away
Oh, lucky me, I'm only cryin' once a day

[Chorus]
Once a day, all day long
And once a night from dusk till dawn
The only time I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, every day, all day long

[Refrain]
Once a day, every day, all day long
