nine times out of ten

she's right and i am wrong

and when i won't give in

she just goes along

standing by my side

sittin'home alone

i'll never know

what keeps her hanging on

when anybody else would be long gone

but once in a blue moon

i'll do something right

and once in a blue moon

i'll make her feel so fine

i can make her laugh and make her cry

she hates the way she loves me sometimes

but once in a blue moon

i'll do something right

she's starving for affection

so hungry for love's touch

but she only hears i love you

when we're making love

lord i'll always wonder

why she loves me so much

when the best i'll ever do

won't be enough

so i'll just thank my lucky stars above

that once in a blue moon

i'll do something right

and once in a blue moon

i'll make her feel so fine

cause i can make her laugh

oh and make her cry

she hates the way she loves me sometimes

once in a blue moon

once in a blue moon

every once in a blue moon

i'll do something right

once in a blue moon
