For Once in My Life Songtext
von James Brown

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
Would make my dreams come true, baby

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, it won′t desert 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 in my life I have someone who needs me


For once in my life, someone needs me
Someone I′ve needed so long
For once, unafraid, I'm not scared
I can go where life leads me
′Cause I know
I've got to be strong

For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of, hah!
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true

For once in my life, I won′t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it did before
For once I have something
I know won't desert me
I'm not lonely anymore

For once I can say
"This is mine, you can′t take it"
As long as I know
I have love, we can make it
For once in my life, I have someone, someone who needs me


It′s your thing
You got to have a thing
Everybody need a thing
Use your thing
And do your thing
Got to, you got to
Have a thing
Use your thing
Use your thing
You need your thing
You got to have a thing
Every, every
Every, every

You got to have a thing
You got to have a thing
You got to have

You got to, you got to
Got to, you got to
Good God, got to, you got to
Got you
