For Once in My Life (live/1969) Songtext
von Stevie Wonder

Ladies and gentlemen
For once in my lifetime there′s someone to love me
Would you welcome, please
The exciting young man of song
Mr. Stevie Wonder

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

Oh, someone warm like you
Who would make my dreams come true
Yeah, baby


For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before

For once I have someone
I know won′t desert me
Steven ain′t alone anymore

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 in my life
I have someone who needs me
Hey, yeah
Oh, baby, believe me

For once in my life
I won′t let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before

For once I have someone
Know won′t desert me
I'm not alone anymore

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 in my life
I have someone who needs me
Oh, baby
For once in my life
Hey, yeah
Somebody that needs me

Ooh, baby
For once in my
Please don't, don't, don′t let that girl go
Feel this loving, babe
Yeah, baby

For once in my life
Oh, somebody that needs Stevie
For once in my
Life, life, life, life
Life, life, life, life
Life, life, life, life, life, yeah
