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

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 gone 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
