Just ask me once
Don't ask me twice
Never ask me three times
I don't give that much advice
I took my chance at the first opportunity
To wander through this world
And to do what comes so naturally
Once is enough
Just ask me once
Once is enough
Just ask me once

Sometimes you're first
Sometimes you're last
Then again you're somewhere
In your "days of future ed"
If you can find yourself and know just where you are
Don't let the wind turn you
You're stronger than you think you are
Once is enough
Just ask me once
Once is enough
Just ask me once

Once I was rich
Once I was poor
Once I was no-one
I ain't no-one anymore
Once in a lifetime there's a chance that comes your way
Take it with both your hands and be somebody for a day
Once is enough
Just ask me once
Once is enough
Just ask me once
