For Once In My Life

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

Someone I needed so long

For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me

And somehow, I know I'll be strong

For once, I can't touch what my heart used to dream of

Long before I knew, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, someone warm like you

Would ever dream of making my dreams come true

For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me

Not like it's hurt me before

Oh, for once I have something I know won't desert me

'Cause I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, “This is mine, you can't take it”

Long as I know I've got love, I can make it

For once in my life

I've got that someone who needs me

For once, I can say, “This sho'nuff mine, you can't take it”

Long as I know I've got love, I can make it

For once in my life

I've got that someone who needs me

Oh, yes, she does

I've got that someone who needs me

He told me this morning that he needed me

Mmm, I believe that he needs me
