Текст песни For Once In My Life (Live at the Copa/1968) - The Temptations

We like to dedicate this particular tune
To all the wives in the house from your husbands
To all the boyfriends from your girlfriends
To all the fiancé from your fiancé
And to all the what-have-you from what-have you
Well let′s face it, you can never tell who is in order nowadays
It's a little tune that I especially dedicate to my wife
This one we enjoy doing it and we do hope
Each and everyone of you out there would like it
It goes something like this
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
Aww, someone warm like you
Could 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 unafraid
I can go where life leads 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
Long as I know
I have love I can make it
For once I can feel
That somebody heard my plea
For once
For onces, for once
And I loved her, Lord knows I need her
′Cause for once in my life
I have someone who
Needs me
Oh-oh-oh
Who needs me (in my life)
