Lyrics：Lionel Bart Music：Lionel Bart
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 love 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 stay true just
As long he needs me
