She Needs To Know
David Sneddon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She understands him
Hoping someday that life will go his way
No-one else believed him
She stands besides him
Taking every knock in the hope that it will pay
Because no-one would believe him
And she wants to know
How its gonna go
And she needs to know
Just how long will this go on for?
I can't make it work alone
And i need to know just how far to go

She knows she loves him
Watching him wish his life away is hard
Is hard to keep on wishing
But she is happy it's him that she wants
She'll love him 'til the end
And he knows that she wants to know
How it's gonna go
And she needs to know
Just how long will this go on for
I can't make this work alone
And i need to know is how far to go

And one morning he goes to her to say
Are you sitting down, baby?
OK, are you ready for this?
I've been given a chance
Pack your bags
We're moving away
And she smiles with tears in her eyes
Because now she knows how its gonna go
Just how long will this go on for?
I can't make it work alone
And i need to know how its gonna go
Just how long will this go on for
I can't make it work alone
And i need to know how far to go, how far to go
She needs to know
She needs to know
She needs to know

Well she needs to know
Yeah, yeah it's an up hill rising
What she means to me
Because she needs to know




She wants to know
She needs to know.......
