Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And all at once, I knew, I knew at once
I knew he needed me
Until the day I die, I wonder why
I knew he needed me
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Maybe it's because he's so alone
Maybe it's because he's never had a home
[Verse 5]
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 finally felt that someone needed me
[Verse 6]
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
He needs me, he needs me, he needs me, he needs me
He needs me, he needs me
