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 pain away
Until now, I'm down to hurtin' once a day.

Once a day, all day long
And once a night, from dusk 'til dawn
The ony time, I wish you weren't gone
Is once a day, everyday, all day long. 

I'm so glad that I'm not like a friend I knew one time
He(she)lost the one he(she)loved, then slowly lost her mind
He(she) sat around and cried his (her) life away
Lucky me, I'm only crying once a day.

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

     The only time, I wish you weren't gone
     Is once a day, everyday, all day long.
