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 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 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 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 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
