I don't need you.

I don't need friendship.

I don't need flowers in the Spring.

I don't need you.

And you surely don't want me.



I don't need love and affection.

I don't peace and harmony.

I don't need you.

And you surely don't need me.



CHORUS:

But we both want it bad enough.

Yes, we both want it. Don't we?

I don't need you baby.

And I know you don't need me.



I don't need your loving arms around me.

All I need is to be free.

That's what I keep telling myself.

And I tell you, you don't need me.



I don't need children in my old age.

No more cluttered leaves around the tree.

And I don't need you baby.

And I know you don't need me.



Rpt. Chorus



And we don't need each other, baby.

We don't need each other, baby.

Or do we?
