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 

I miss him so much when he is gone 
But when he's near me 
I don't let on 

The way I feel inside 
The love I have to hide 
The hell! I've got my pride 
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 
I know where I must be 
I'll cling on steadfastly 
As long as he needs me 

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 

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
