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 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'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.
