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 <fade>
