As Long As He Needs Me

Shani Wallis

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



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'll 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
