I Don't Need You

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.

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.

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?
