- "As Long as He Needs Me" is a torch song sung by the character of Nancy in the 1960 musical Oliver! and written by Lionel Bart. Georgia Brown, who was the first actress to play Nancy, introduced the song. It is a love ballad expressing Nancy's love for her criminal boyfriend Bill Sikes despite his mistreatment of her. In the film adaptation of the musical, it was sung by Shani Wallis. A reprise of this song towards the end of the show expresses Nancy's affection for young Oliver Twist, implying that she now feels that the child also needs her. This reprise was omitted from the film version. Its popularity grew by virtue of renditions by several popular singers, including Shirley Bassey who reached number two for 5 weeks on the United Kingdom charts with the song. Bassey's recording became one of the highest sellers of 1960 staying on the UK charts for 30 weeks. The song has also been sung as "As Long as She Needs Me", when sung by a male singer. In 1963 Sammy Davis Jr. recorded the song, reaching #19 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. (en)

Il musical, debuttato nel West End londinese, è tratto dal romanzo di Charles Dickens Le avventure di Oliver Twist. La canzone è canzone è cantata da Nancy, prototipo del personaggio letterario ricorrente della prostituta dal cuore d'oro. La giovane donna è perdutamente innamorata di Bill Sikes, un brutale criminale che la maltratta. Nancy, però, non si cura del modo con cui lui la tratta e continua ad amarlo indefessamente, nonostante questo amore finirà per portarla alla morte. In un Reprise della canzone situato verso la fine del secondo atto, Nancy comincia a rivedere la situazione e sente nascere in sé una sorta di amore materno per il povero Oliver Twist, con cui antepone l'amore per Bill Sikes. Esiste anche una versione maschile della canzone, reintitolata As Long as She Needs Me. (it)
