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... Oh, yes, he does need me... In spite of what you see... I'm sure that he needs me I miss him so much when he is gone But when he's near me I carry on... The love I feel inside The love I have to hide... The hell! I've got my pride 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
