I gotta try, just one more time to help you believe me
Won't you look into my eyes and read my face for lies
Then you might see that my life's never been
Everything that I wanted it to be
But with you I could change this bad luck
With you I could hold my head up.

Sweet darlin', just this one time
I really need some-a-one to believe in me
Believe in me
Just this one time
I really need some-a-one to leave it with me
To breathe it with me
To get beneath it with me darlin'
Just this one time.

I gotta say the perfect thing
I can't make mistakes now
I just gotta read your signs
I gotta write those magic lines
So you can hear
And God knows I've given you
Every reason in this whole wide world to fear me
When my love's a ragin' river
And you trapped it in your hands.

Sweet darlin', just this one time
I really need some-a-one to believe in me
Believe in me, just this one time
I really need some-a-one to leave it with me
To breathe it with me
To get beneath it with me now, darlin'
Just this one time.

Just this one time sweet darlin'
Just this one time
I really need someone...
