For Once in My Life by The Temptations

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
Some how I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone more like you
Would make my dream come true

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

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 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
