Gladys Knight - For Once in My Life (featuring The Pips) Lyrics

For once in my life I've got 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
Could make my dreams come true.

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me-
Not like it's hurt me before.
For once I've got 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."
As long as I know I've got love, I can make it.
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me.

(instrumental interlude - part 1)

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me-
Not like it's hurt me before.
For once I've got 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."
As long as I know I've got love, I can make it.
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me.
