Lyrics

And all at once I knew
I knew at once
I knew he needed me
Until the day I die
I won't know why
I knew he needed me
It could be fantasy, oh
Or maybe it's because
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
Dah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Dah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
It's like a dime a dance
I'll take a chance
I will because he needs me
No one ever asked before
Before because they never needed me
But I do
But he does!
Maybe it's because he's so alone
Maybe it's because he's never had a home
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
For once, for once in life
I've finally felt that someone needed me
And if it turns out real
Then love can turn the wheel
Because
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
Dah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Dah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dah
