As Long as He Needs Me (from the Broadway musical production “Oliver!”) Songtext
von Doris Day

He doesn′t act as though he cares
But deep inside I know he cares
And this is why I'm tied, right by his side

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 him 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

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

As long as he needs me
