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 wont let sorrow hurt me

Not like it's hurt me before, oh

For once I have something I know wont 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 mornin that he needed me

Mmm... mmm... I believe
