as long as he needs me

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 have to hide

the hell! i've gone 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 are 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
