I Don't Need You

You told me you loved me You said I’d be sorry But I’m feeling pretty happy with myself You said I would need you You thought I would grieve you But it turns out you’re no good for my health Why are we taught that we need a man That we need a plan That we need a man To be happy When do you think they will understand I don’t need a man Can they understand That I’m happy Without somebody here holding my hand so Can I be alone tonight Can I be here without you by my side Is that against the rules Is that against the rules Is that against the rules Society keeps telling me That’s not how I’m supposed to be But I’m happy And I don’t need you to complete me I’m living without you Contentness is so true Because I’m feeling myself Don’t need nobody else And I’m doing what I do I thought I would need you Potentially treat you Like nobody else would do Nobody else would do Nobody else would Why are we taught that we need a man That we need a plan That we need a man To be happy When do you think they will understand I don’t need a man Can they understand That I’m happy Without somebody here holding my hand so Can I be alone tonight Can I be here without you by my side Is that against the rules Is that against the rules Is that against the rules Society keeps telling me That’s not how I’m supposed to be But I’m happy And I don’t need you to complete me Cause I’m good all on my own Don’t need you calling up my phone Don’t need no Don’t need no Don’t need nobody Cause I’m good all on my own Don’t need you calling up my phone Without somebody here holding my hand so Can I be alone tonight Can I be here without you by my side Is that against the rules Is that against the rules Is that against the rules Society keeps telling me That’s not how I’m supposed to be But I’m happy And I don’t need you to complete me
