Lyrics

I say I love her so, well could it be lies
If I could speak with my eyes
I'd tell her I really don't know
It may be I've said it before
Makes me want to take a chance
Dip into romance
But I just don't know if I can
Become a one-woman-man.
But every man needs a woman to hold
to lay by his side when the nights are cold
And to make him see, his dreams are meant to be.

Shes' got a pretty smile, a pretty face
Could be that I'm developing taste
But maybe I should wait a while
She might not go that extra mile
Still opportunity and women of dreams
can really make a wonderful team
or at least thats what I've been told
especially when the nights are cold.

Cause every man needs a woman to hold
To lay by his sidewhen the nights are cold
And to make him see, his dreams are meant to be.

Seems there's a lesson here, that ought to be learned
As far as any man is concerned
Excuses will equal fears
Daylight seems to hide the tears
But I see my chance is gone, I wasted her time
I just couldn't make up my mind
and now I'll spend the night alone
She probably had a man at home

Cause every man needs a woman to hold
To lay by his side when the nights are cold
And to make him see, his dreams are meant to be
But most of the time he loses control
and lies all alone when the nights are cold
Opportunity Knocks Only Once Dream,
Yes Opportunity Knocks only once a dream.
