As Long As He Needs Me (reprise) — текст песни (Oliver!)

MR. BROWNLOW

(spoken) Who is this man? Perhaps we can...

NANCY

(spoken) No! We can`t! Whatever else I do, I won`t turn on him!

MR. BROWNLOW

(spoken) But, a man who might kill you?

NANCY

(spoken) Yeah, but he`s mine, and I`m his. I`ve got to go back. I want to go back. (sung) He doesn`t act as tho` he cares.
But deep inside I know he cares.
And that is why I`m tied
Right by his side.

As long as he needs me...
I know where I must be
But, will he never see
That someone else needs me?

As long as life is long...
I`ll love him...right or wrong...
But, something just as strong
Says someone else needs me...

A child
With no one to take his part.
I`ll take his part, Bill...
..But cross my heart!

I won`t betray your trust
Tho` people say I must.
My heart will stay true..just..
..As long as he needs me.
