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
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 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
Mmm, hmm, hmm
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 morning that he needed me
Mmm, mmm, I believe
