[Verse 1: Paul Williams] 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 Somehow I know I'll be strong For once I can touch What my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Ah, someone like you Would make my dream come true [Verse 2: Paul WIlliams] For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore For once I can say This is mine, you can't take it As long as I know I have love I can make it For once in my life I have someone who needs me [Outro: Paul Williams & The Temptations] 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 I can feel That somebody heard my plea For once in my life I have someone who needs me For once in my life In my life
