He Needs Me

Peggy Lee · Pete Kelly's Blues [2004]

He needs me

He doesn't know it

But he needs me



And so no matter

Where he goes

And though he doesn't care

He knows, I'm there



He needs me

I ought to leave him

But he needs me



I guess, it isn't very bright

Just to tag along

But right or wrong

I'm here, I'm his



And I'll be

A friend or a lover

Because my

One ambition is



To wake him

And make him discover

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
