i don't need you

i don't need you

i don't need friendship

i don't need peace and harmony

i don't need you

and i know you don't need me

i don't need love or affection

i don't need flowers in the spring

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

but 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 needs 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

like cluttered leaves around the tree

i don't need you

and i know you don't need me

but we both want it bad enough

yes we both want it don't we

but i don't need you baby

and i know you don't need me

we don't need each other baby

we don't need each other baby

or do we?
