As Long As She Needs Me

As long as she needs me

Oh, yes, she does need me

In spite of what you see

I'm sure that she needs me

Who else would love her still

When they've been used so ill?

She knows I always will

As long as she needs me. 

I miss her so much when she is gone,

But when she's near me

I don't let on

The way I feel inside.

The love, I have to hide

The hell! I've gone my pride
As long as she needs me. 

"She doesn't say the things she should.

She acts the way she thinks she should.

But all the same,

I'll play

This game

Her way. "

As long as she needs me
I know where I must be

I'll cling on steadfastly

As long as she needs me

As long as life is long

I'll love her right or wrong, 

And somehow, I'll be strong

As long as she needs me. 

If you are lonely

Then you will know

When someone needs you, 

You love them so. 

I won't betray her trust

Though people say I must. 

I've got to stay true, 
Just as long as she needs me.
