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, someone like you Would ever dream of makin' my dreams come true For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like its 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 Ive got that someone who needs me For once I can say This is 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, he does I've got that someone who needs me He told me this mornin' that he needed me I believe
