  • For once, there's someone for he, for she
    For once, there's someone for he, for me

    Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
    Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our (my) people's plans
    I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be here (near)
    So many things I need to tell you, things you need to hear

    So this is the aftermath

    Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
    Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plans
    I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be near
    So many things I need to tell you

    For once, there's someone for he, for she
    For once, there's someone for he, for me

    Let me tell you about my mother

    For once, there's someone for he, for she
    For once, there's someone for he, for me

    Your eyes resemble mine, you see as no others can
    Here inherit my kingdom, speak of our people's plans
    I'll be here for my baby, for my baby I'll be near
    So many things (that) I need to tell you, things you need to hear

    How can I be sure?
    In a world that's constantly changing
    How can I be sure?

    How can I be sure?
    In a world that's constantly changing
    How can I be sure?

    Just when I thought I was winning
    Just when I thought I could not be stopped
    Just when I thought I was winning
    Just when I thought I could not be stopped
    How can I be sure? Writer/s: Adrian Nicholas Matthew Thaws
