Only once in a life

Does a boy find a girl

He loves much as I love you

Mary Ann

Give me back your love if you can

I know we'll be happy again

Think of what you do

Only once in a life

Does a boy feel as glad

As I felt when I had you

Mary Ann

Give me back your love if you can

I know we'll be happy again

Think of what you do

Do to the one boy

Who needs you so bad

You were my one joy

Now you've made me so sad

Only one in a life

Does a boy feel the hurt

That I felt when I lost you

Mary Ann

Give me back your love if you can

I know we'll be happy again

Think of what you do

I wanna tell you

I need you so much

I really felt that

I long for your touch

Only once in a life

Does a boy cry the tears

That I cried when I..I lost you

Mary Ann

Give me back your love if you can

I know we'll be happy again

Think of what you do

Mary Ann

Give me back your love if you can

I know we'll be happy again
