Once in a lifetime

New love, new life
Straight face, hoping everything's fine
We've got no frills, late bills,
Rent payments, we're walking up hill
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
I'll make it better tomorrow
We're gonna make it tomorrow

Months pass, too fast
I'm back to college and classified ads
And then I'm hired, suit and tied,
I'll climb this ladder no matter the price
We're gonna rise, 'cause I'm going to climb
Up this ladder no matter the price
