He Needs Me
Shelley Duvall Lyrics

And all at once I knew
In an instant, I became aware

I knew at once
I possessed immediate understanding

I knew he needed me
I was certain of his reliance on me

Until the day I die
Until the end of my life

I won't know why
I'll never fully comprehend

I knew he needed me
That he was in need of my assistance, I knew

It could be fantasy, o-oh
It's possible that it's pure imagination

Or maybe it's because
Perhaps it's due to the fact that

He needs me he needs me
He is dependent on my presence

Dah de da da da da da da da da dah

It's like a dime a dance
It's similar to a cheap dance

I'll take a chance
I'm willing to take a risk

I will because he needs me
I'm doing it because of his necessity

No one ever asked before
No one inquired in the past

Before because they never needed me
Because they never required my help in previous instances

[Popeye]

But I do
But this time, I am needed by him

But he does!
He definitely does need me

Maybe it's because he's so alone
Perhaps it's due to his extreme loneliness

Maybe it's because he's never had a home
It's possible it's because he's never had a proper place to live

For once, for once in life
Finally, at least once in my existence

I've finally felt
I've truly experienced

That someone needed me
That there was someone that counted on me

And if it turns out real
And if it proves to be genuine

Then love can turn the wheel
Then love can guide the course of action

He needs me he needs me
His need for me is significant

Dah de da da da da da da da da dum

Dah de da da da da da da da da dah
