Lyrics for For Once In My Life

For once in my life, I have someone who needs me Someone I've needed so long For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me Somehow I know I'll be strong For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Ooh, someone warm like you Would make my dreams come true Yeah, yeah, yeah (For once in my life) For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before) For once, I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore) For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it" As long as I know I have love, I can make it For once in my life, I have someone who needs me (Someone who needs me) Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah (Someone who needs me) Oh, I'm in love, baby (For once in my life) For once in my life (For once in my life) I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt me before) For once, I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore) For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it" As long as I know I have love, I can make it For once in my life, I have someone who needs me (Someone who needs me) Oh, for once in my life (Someone who needs me) Yeah, somebody that needs me (Someone who needs me) Oh, baby, for once in my life
