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
Someone warm like you
Who made my dream come true, Oh yeah

For once in my life, I won't miss all the [?]
Not like it's hurt me before

For once I have somеone I know won't desert mе
I’m not alone anymore

For once I can say
This is mine you can’t take it
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Yey-e-yey-e, yeah

For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have someone I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say
This is mine you can’t take it
Long as I know I got your love I'm gonna make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Yey-e

Tellin' you right now
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Somebody listen to my plea

Once in my life, I have someone who needs me
I wanna tell ya
For once in my life, I got someone who needs me
