For Once In My Life
Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast
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
Whoa, someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(New Directions: For once in my life)
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (New Directions: Not like it's hurt before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (New Directions: I'm not alone anymore)
For once, I can say, (New Directions: Oooh)
This is mine, you can't take it (New Directions: Oooh)
As long as I know I have love, I can make it (New Directions: Oooh)
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
New Directions:
Someone who needs me!
Artie:
Ha, ha, ha
Hey, yeah
New Directions:
Someone who needs me!
Artie:
Oh baby, love baby
New Directions:
For once in my life...
Someone who needs me
Artie:
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
(New Directions: For once in my life)
Not like it's hurt me before (New Directions: Not like it's hurt before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me (New Directions: Oooh)
I'm not alone anymore (New Directions: I'm not alone anymore)
For once, I can say, (New Directions: Oooh)
This is mine, you can't take it (New Directions: Oooh)
As long as I know I have love, I can make it (New Directions: Oooh)
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
(New Directions: Someone who needs me!)
Ho, for once in my life
New Directions:
Someone who needs me!
Yeah!
Artie:
Yeah
Somebody that needs me
New Directions:
Someone who needs me
Yeah!
Artie:
Ooh baby,
For once in my life
New Directions (with Artie):
Someone who needs me (Oh baby)
Yeah!
Artie:
For once in my life
