He doesn't say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks he should
But all the same, I'll play his 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
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
I miss him so much
When he is gone
But when he's near me
I carry 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
If you are lonely
Then you will know
When someone needs you
You love him so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to be true just
As long as he needs me
