As Long As He Needs Me    (1960)

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.

(Bridge:)
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.

Lyrics by Lionel Bart.
Recorded by Lionel Bart; Shirley Bassey; Sammy Davis Jr.; many others.
From the Broadway musical Oliver!
