Darling, since we been together
You know, you've changed me
I mean, you've really rearranged me

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be around

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be somewhere around

Oh, baby, oh, baby

Girl, when I think about
All the times I've been alone
It's like being shut out
From the world with
No one to call my own

And like sunshine
You came into my heart
You gave my life new meaning
Girl, you gave me a
Brand new start, baby

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be around, yes, I will

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be somewhere around

Girl, I never dreamed
This kind of love could exist
You restored my faith in love
With just a simple kiss

You created laughter from
Two lips that wouldn't smile
And when you shared
Your understanding
You changed my whole lifestyle
Oh baby

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be around

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be somewhere around

You came into my life
Couldn't have been a better time
Didn't only free my soul
Also freed my mind

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be around

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be somewhere around

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be around

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be somewhere around

Say it again....

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
Sounds so good
I'll be around

Listen...

You know, we've been together for six long years
And I can remember a lot of times I'd come home
And you know, you didn't have the dinner all fixed
And the bath wasn't all hot
But, you know, I really didn't expect that anyhow
When we first met
You've always been good to me, darling
And I thank you
You know, all I wanted was a little pat on the back
Every now and then, you know
When I thought I'd done something good
And you did all that
You know what?
You're still doing it
And I thank you, baby
I mean, what can I say?
But I'm not ever looking for anywhere to go
Unless yhou're going with me, you know why?
Because you're my whole world
My whole future depends on you
My whole everything revolves around you, darling
You're the atmosphere of everything
I might want to possess
You're in everything I do
No, I don't care if they talk about me
They can say what they will of me
But you see Chuck just know
He just know where his thing lay
No, no, baby, we don't have no problem with that
You see, the problem lies within them
Because they're not sure what they go
So they're gonna say, you know...
"Chuck he ain't happy"
Oh, but I'm just as happy as a lark
Oh yeah, baby
And listen, and just as long as you want me
And you need me, and you love me, darling
Don't look far, I'll be right there by your side every day

Just as long as you need me
Just as long as you want me
I'll be around
Oh baby, just as long as you need me
