[Olive] "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, O-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 de da da da da da da da da da Dah de 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
Noone ever asked before Before because they never needed me
[Popeye] But I do
[Olive] 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 He needs
me he needs me He needs me he needs me He needs me he needs me
Dah de da da da da da da da da; Dah de da da da da da da da da dah"---
Ahhhhhh, deys don'ts writes 'em like dats no more.
