Lyrics As Long as He Needs Me - Alma Cogan

As Long as He Needs Me

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 gone 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
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
