Rupert Holmes – One Born Every Minute lyrics

I get the feeling that when I was young
I missed the day of school
When everyone learned how to never get hurt
And never to play the fool
I am the lifetime owner of the Brooklyn Bridge
And every time love comes my way
I swear that I can hear love say

"There's one born, one born every minute"
I confess I've fallen more than once or twice
And I lose my heart like a gambler
Who can't walk away from a crap game
That's played with loaded dice
There's one born, one born every minute
But baby, you were born one minute after me
And what a difference a minute makes
For a moment is all love takes
And in a second, you're gonna see
If there's one love, one born every minute
Then we were born to be

I get the feeling that when you were young
You fell in love real fast
You wanted the sea and the storm and the strings
Well, here are those things at last
I am your hero riding down the rocky ridge
And if you believe all this is true
Then you'll believe in me and you

There's one born, one born every minute
I confess I've fallen more than once or twice
And I lose my heart like a gambler
Who can't walk away from a crap game
That's played with loaded dice
There's one born, one born every minute
But baby, you were born one minute after me
What a difference a minute makes
And a moment is all it takes
'Cause in a second, you're gonna see
That if there's one love, one born every minute
Then we were born to be
