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 had to do things
your way
playing by the rules
was not your style
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

Like a wind
upon the prairie
you blew into her life
one empty summer night
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

Remembering
the night it was
when you married her
and how you swore
the dream
would never end
'aint it funny
how that dream
has been forgotten now
as here she finds herself
all 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
