I don't need a man, he'll only treat me bad.
I don't need a man, he'll make me blue and sad.
I don't need a man to miss when we're apart.
I don't need a man to fix my broken heart

for it was already broken by a man
and now, to find out who I am,
I need to walk for a while on my own.

I don't need a man who'll treat me second best
to build a home with him, where I can find no rest.
I don't need a man to kiss under the night sky.
I don't need a man, he'll only cheat and lie.

I won't be lonely when I'm feeling cold
I won't even miss his hand to hold
or his heartbeat against mine.

He'll fix me and then break me
he'll hold me, then he'll shake me
he'll love me and then hate me.

In the candle light when autumn turns dim
I'll be happier watching the stars without him.
I don't need him, I'll spend Christmas with someone else
and on New Year's eve, I'll be dancing with myself.
I don't need him, that's the simplest thing that can be.
I don't love him, but I wish that he loved me.
