I Don’t Need You

Mmm-hmm...

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

Well now...

Listen here, honey...

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

I've been doing just fine...

Long before you came around...

Mmm-hmm...

Yes sir...

Just fine on my own...

You can keep your promises, honey

Keep your roses too

I've got my own little corner

And I know what to do

I pay my own bills on Monday

Hang my own dreams in the sky

When the world starts spinning sideways

I don't need a hand to get by

I've danced through hard times before

Watched people walk out the door

So if you're looking for somebody to save

You picked the wrong dame

I don't need you

To tell me where to go

I don't need you

To teach me what I know

I've got my own two feet

My own rhythm, my own beat

I don't need you, no sir

I'm doing just fine on my own

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

Mmm-hmm...

Just fine on my own...

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

Mmm-hmm...

Doin' just fine alone...

I've crossed every bridge I built myself

Through sunshine and through rain

And every scar upon this heart

Has learned to wear its name

You can call me stubborn, darling

You can call me hard to hold

But I learned a long time ago

Not to wait around in the cold

I've seen sweet talk come and go (come and go...)

Like smoke from a midnight show (midnight show...)

So don't mistake my smile for need

I'm perfectly complete

I don't need you

To open every door

I don't need you

I've made it through before

I've got my own two feet

My own rhythm, my own beat

I don't need you, no sir

I'm doing just fine on my own

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

Mmm-hmm...

Just fine on my own...

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

Mmm-hmm...

Doin' just fine alone...

Now don't get me wrong, sweetheart

I enjoy a little company

But if you're here to rescue me

You don't know the first thing about me

Love should walk beside me

Not carry me away

If you're gonna stay

Then stay as my equal, not my savior

I don't need you

To tell me who to be

I don't need you

To hand the world to me

I've got my own two feet

My own rhythm, my own beat

I don't need you, no sir

But you're welcome next to me

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

Mmm-hmm...

Right next to me...

Ba-da-da...

Ba-da-da-da...

Mmm-hmm...

That's where you're meant to be...

No sir...

I don't need you...

But you can dance with me.
