i don't need you

i don't need you

i don't need friendship

and i don't need flowers in the spring

and i don't need you

and you surely don't want me

i don't need love and affection

and i don't peace and harmony

and i don't need you

and you surely don't need me

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 tellin' 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 trees

and i don't need you

baby

and i know you don't need me

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

and we don't need each other

baby

we don't need each other

baby

or do we
