She Needs to Know (piano/voice mix – rpl)

You’ve always been a rebel 
raised up from your daddy’s knee 
a little bit wild 
and you’ve always done things your way 
playing by the rules 
that’s not your style

But she’s home
waiting for the phone to ring
for the wife of a rebel
it’s the same old thing

She needs to know
you need her now and then
she needs to know you’ll be there 
through thick and thin
she needs to know you will always
be her man

Like a cool breeze on the prairie
you blew into her life
one empty summer night
and with all the promises you made her
it seemed like every dream she had
could come to life

But now she’s home waiting 
for the phone to ring
for the wife of a rebel
it’s the same old thing

She needs to know
you need her now and then
she needs to know you’ll be there 
through thick and thin
she needs to know you will always
be her man

She’s remembering 
the night it was you married her
and how you swore 
the dream would never end
it’s funny how that dream
has been forgotten now
and here she finds herself
alone again

All alone waiting
for the phone to ring
for the wife of a rebel
it’s the same old thing

She needs to know
you need her now and then
she needs to know you’ll be there 
through thick and thin
she needs to know you will always
be her man
