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
Oh, yes, he does need me
In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me

I miss him so much when he is gone,
But when he's near me
I carry on

The love I feel inside
The love I have to hide
The hell! I've gone my pride

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
