[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I miss him so much when I am gone
But when I'm near him, I don't let on
The way I feel inside
The love I had to hide
To Hell, I've got my pride
As long as he needs me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
He doesn't say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks hе should
But, all the same, I'll play this game his way
As long as hе needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me
[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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
