As Long as He Needs Me (“Oliver!”) (live)
As long as he needs me
Oh yeah, 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
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
Oh yeah, 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
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
