As Long As He Needs Me
Shani Wallis Lyrics

As long as he needs me
I will be there for him, as long as he needs me.

Oh, yes, he does need me
He may not say it, but I know he needs me in his life.

In spite of what you see
Despite any negative actions you may witness from him or our relationship, he truly needs me.

I'm sure that he needs me
Without a doubt, he needs me by his side.

Who else would love him still?
After all the wrongs he has done, who else would still love and support him?

When they've been used so ill
After being mistreated, he still deserves love and support.

He knows I always will
He knows that my love and loyalty to him will never falter.

I miss him so much
When he's not around, I feel a deep sense of longing.

When he is gone
His absence is felt deeply when he is not here.

But when he's near me
Whenever he is close by, I feel comforted and at ease.

I don't let on
I don't show or express my true feelings when he's around.

The way I feel inside
My true emotions are kept hidden deep inside.

The love I have to hide
My love for him is a secret I must keep.

The hell, I've got my pride
Even though it's difficult to keep my love hidden, I must maintain my dignity and pride.

He doesn't say the things he should
He struggles to express his emotions and communicate in a way that is expected.

He acts the way he thinks he should
He puts on a facade and acts the way he believes is appropriate, rather than being true to himself.

But all the same
Despite these flaws, I will love him unconditionally.

I'll play this game
I'll continue to love and support him, even if it feels like a game or facade at times.

I know where I must be
I know that I must be by his side, no matter the circumstances.

I'll cling on steadfastly
I'll hold on tightly and remain devoted to him.

As long as life is long
For the duration of our lives, I will continue to love him.

I'll love him, right or wrong
No matter what he does, I will love him through his right and wrong actions.

And somehow, I'll be strong
I'll find the strength to persevere through any challenges we may face.

If you are lonely
If you've ever been lonely or in need of love and support...

Then you will know
...you'll understand the importance of having someone there for you.

When someone needs you
When someone requires your love and support...

You'll love them so
...you'll love them unconditionally, no matter what.

I won't betray his trust
I will always remain loyal and never betray his trust, no matter what others say or think.

Though people say I must
Despite criticisms or warnings from others about our relationship...

I've got to stay true just
...I know I must remain true to him and our love.
