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 cant 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

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I needed so long
