As long as he needs me Oh, yes, he does need me In spite of what you see I'm sure that he needs me Who else would love him still When they've been used so ill He knows I always will As long as he needs me I miss him so much When he is gone But when he's near me I don't let on The way I feel inside The love I've got to hide The hell, I've got my pride As long as he needs me He doesn't say the things he should He acts the way he thinks he should But all the same I'll play This game His way As long as he needs me I know where I must be I'll cling on steadfastly As long as he needs me As long as life is long I'll love him right or wrong And somehow, I'll be strong As long as he needs me If you've been lonely Then you will know When someone needs you You love them so I won't betray his trust Though people say I must I've got to stay true, just As long as he needs me
