She understands him   Hoping someday that life will go his way   No-one else believed him   She stands besides him   Taking every knock in the hope that it will pay   Because no-one would believe him   And she wants to know   How its gonna go    And she needs to know   Just how long will this go on for?   I can't make it work alone   And i need to know just how far to go      She knows she loves him    Watching him wish his life away is hard   Is hard to keep on wishing   But she is happy it's him that she wants    She'll love him 'til the end   And he knows that she wants to know   How it's gonna go   And she needs to know   Just how long will this go on for   I can't make this work alone   And i need to know is how far to go      And one morning he goes to her to say   Are you sitting down, baby?    OK, are you ready for this?   I've been given a chance    Pack your bags    We're moving away   And she smiles with tears in her eyes   Because now she knows how its gonna go   Just how long will this go on for?   I can't make it work alone   And i need to know how its gonna go   Just how long will this go on for   I can't make it work alone   And i need to know how far to go, how far to go   She needs to know   She needs to know   She needs to know      Well she needs to know   Yeah, yeah it's an up hill rising   What she means to me    Because she needs to know   She wants to know   She needs to know.......
