Mel B - For Once In My Life (Video and Lyrics)

VIDEO: Mel B - For Once In My Life


 Lyrics:


I've been gone in the dark and the shadows
Been afraid to throw my heart in the battle
Yesterday felt the weight of the shackles

Not anymore… not anymore

Turn the lights, turn the lights, turn the lights on
Wanna rise feel the rush, wanna free fall
Through the night cause tonight
I'm unstoppable
Unstoppable

I wanna feel.....
I wanna feel.....

For once in my life, I'm gonna let go
For once in my life, I'm gonna do it for me
This is the time I've been waiting for
Stripping it all away I'm runnin’ free
For once in my life
For once in my life

Here I am, think you know what I came for
Make it loud, cause the world is my dance floor
Standing strong and it feels so incredible
Gimme some more, gimme some more

Turn the lights, turn the lights, turn the lights on
Wanna rise feel the rush, wanna free fall
Through the night cause tonight
I want it all
I want it all

I wanna feel.....
I wanna feel.....

For once in my life, I'm gonna let go
For once in my life, I'm gonna do it for me
This is the time I've been waiting for
Stripping it all away, I'm runnin’ free

For once in my life
For once in my life
(it’s now or never)

For once in my life
For once in my life
(it’s now or never)

Oh ohh ohhh ohhh ohhhh
Oh ohh ohhh ohhh ohhhh

I wanna feel….

For once in my life, I'm gonna let go
For once in my life, I'm gonna do it for me
This is the time I've been waiting for
Stripping it all away, I'm runnin’ free

For once in my life, I'm gonna let go
For once in my life, I'm gonna do it for me
This is the time I've been waiting for
Stripping it all away I'm runnin’ free

For once in my life
For once in my life
(it’s now or never)

For once in my life
For once in my life
(it’s now or never)
