As Long as He Needs Me (From Oliver!)

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 she 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
