Lyrics

He Needs Me

He needs me

He doesn't know it, but he needs me

And so no matter where he goes

Though he doesn't care

He knows that I'm here

He needs me

I ought to leave him, but he needs me

I know that I ain't very bright

Just to tag along

Oh, but right or wrong

I'm his and I'm here

And I'm gonna be his friend or his lover

'Cause my one ambition is

To wake him and make him discover

That he needs me

I've got to follow where he leads me

Or else he'll never know that I need him

Just as he needs me
