New love, new life
Straight face, hoping everything's fine
We've got no frills, late bills
Rent payments, we're walking uphill
But we're in tune, in time
You're due at the end of July
So we'll work hard, take heart
In a life, once in a lifetime
Changed house, changed job,
Now we're three and still bumping along
Now I'm downsized, wound tight
In a life, once in a lifetime
In a life, once in a lifetime
I'll make it better tomorrow
We're gonna make it tomorrow
Months pass too fast
Back to college and classified ads
And then I'm hired, suit and tied
In a life, once in a lifetime
In a life, once in a lifetime
We're gonna rise, 'cause I'm going to climb
Up this ladder no matter the price
In a life, once in a life, once in a lifetime
