Lyrics[]
Chuck E.: 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
Helen: For once I can touch (Chuck E.: Oh, yeah!) what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew (Chuck E.: Yeah-heh...)
Ooh, someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
Yeah, yeah, yeah (For once in my life)
Chuck E.: For once in my life, I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)
Helen: For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it" (Boop, boop, boop, boop (2x)) (Chuck E.: That's right!)
As long as I know I have love, I can make it (Boop, boop, boop, boop (2x))
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Chuck E.: Someone who needs me
Helen: Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Chuck E.: Someone who needs me
Helen: Oh, oh
(Harmonica solo)
(For once in my life)
Chuck E.: Oh, yeah...oh, yeah
Hup!
Oh, yeah!
Oh, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
(Shoop-doo-doo-yeah)
For once in my life (For once in my life)
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (Not like it's hurt before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)
Take it, Helen!
Helen: For once I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it" (Boop, boop, boop, boop (2x)) (Chuck E.: Mmm-hmm!)
As long as I know I have love, I can make it (Boop, boop, boop, boop (2x))
For once in my life, (Chuck E.: Yeah!) I have someone who needs me
Chuck E.:' Someone who needs me
Helen: Yeah-eh, oh
Chuck E.: Someone who needs me
Hey, hey, yeah!
Someone who needs me
Helen: Oh-oh
