[Verse 1: Shelley Duvall]
And all at once I knew
I knew at once
I knew he needed me
Until the day I die
I won't know why
I knew he needed me

[Pre-Chorus: Shelley Duvall]
It could be fantasy, oh
Or maybe it's because

[Chorus: Shelley Duvall]
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me

[Refrain: Shelley Duvall]
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, dum
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

[Verse 2: Shelley Duvall & Robin Williams]
It's like a dime a dance
I'll take a chance
I will because he needs me
No one ever asked before
Before because they never needed me
But I do
But he does
[Pre-Chorus: Shelley Duvall]
Maybe it's because he's so alone
Maybe it's because he's never had a home

[Chorus: Shelley Duvall]
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me

[Verse 3: Shelley Duvall]
For once, for once in life
I've finally felt
That someone needed me
And if it turns out real
Then love can turn the wheel
Because

[Chorus: Shelley Duvall]
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me

[Outro: Shelley Duvall]
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, dum
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
