She lives in pain
In love with another man
When will she let me
Lend a helping hand
When will she tell me she needs me
When will she tell me she needs me
With flowers in my hand I stand at her front door
She looks as if to say: "What are you out there for?"
He's got a hold on her
Strangeling love from her
She lives her life in pain
But won't say: "I give"
He doesn't care for her
He's only using her
She's so afraid of him
Afraid to break away from him
When will she tell me she needs me
When will she tell me she needs me
Each time I pass her porch she's sitting all alone
I stop to speak to her before I speak she's gone
Peek from her windowpane
Through tears she looks at me
Her eyes are crying out:
"Oh please, come and rescue me!"
I know she needs my love
But won't accept my love
Afraid of what he'll do
Afraid to face this cold abuse
She lives her life
In humiliation
I can saw the complication
If she only
Turn to me
I'm not afraid of him
I'd set her free
When will she tell me she needs me
Don't you tell me she needs me
If she'd confide in me
I'd paid her world in gold
I'd fill her heart with joy
A lovestory never told
Wait on her hand and foot
Give her everything in this if I could
I'd fill her life with glee
Love, hope and ecstacy
I'd buy her a wedding ring
I'd make her sad heart sing
If she'd only reached for me
I'll lead her out of this misery
When will she tell me she needs me
When will she tell me she needs me
When will she tell me she needs me
When will she tell me she needs me
When will she tell me she needs me
