Once a day, every day, all day long
  
   Once a day, all day long
   And once a night from dusk till dawn
   The only time I wish you weren't gone
   Is once a day, every day, all day long
   Once a day, every day, all day long
  
   When you found somebody new I thought I never would
   Forget you for I then thought that 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 till dawn
   The only time I wish you weren't gone
   Is once a day, every day, all day long
   Once a day, every day, all day long
  
   I'm so glad that I'm not like the friend I knew one time
   She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
   She sat around and cried her life away
   Lucky me, I'm only cryin' once a day
  
   Once a day, all day long
   And once a night from dusk till dawn
   The only time I wish you weren't gone
   Is once a day, every day, all day long
   Once a day, every day, all day long
