"Don't Need You" lyrics

"Don't Need You"

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Have you forgotten 'bout that fight we had last night?
Has it gone straight out your head?
Have you forgotten 'bout the things that you did
And all the cruel, cruel things you said?

It was the latest in a long line of battles
In a long and ugly war
Waged for reasons I have never fully understood, but
I don't want this any more

Now you're coming on like nothing's wrong
And you're all sweetness and light
Telling me how much I need you in my life
That I'm nothing, nothing without you

I need some money, but I don't need you
I need some new clothes, but I don't need you
I need a place to stay, I don't need you
I don't need heartache, I don't need pain
I don't need suffering again and again
I don't need answers, 'cause I don't need lies
Don't need to be fighting every day of my life
So I don't need you

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I shoulda known that when I first met you
You were too good to be true
Should've known you'd leave me beaten up
Beaten, desperate, black and blue

At first, I just ignored the signs
Kept you happy if I could, but
Sometimes there's just no pleasing you
Sometimes you can be so damn cruel

I see that ugly look is back again
Like I'm the shit upon your shoe
Telling me how much I need you in my life
That I'm nothing, nothing without you

I need some money, but I don't need you
I need some new clothes, but I don't need you
I need a place to stay, I don't need you
I don't need heartache, I don't need pain
I don't need suffering again and again
I don't need answers, 'cause I don't need lies
Don't need to be fighting every day of my life
So I don't need you

Please don't apologise
'Cause you don't mean it and you know it
Don't wanna hear about it one more time
Don't need a photograph
Yeah, the smiles are fake and you know it
Don't I feel sad? No, I feel just fine

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I need to see my friends, I don't need you (Ooh-ooh)
I need a holiday, I don't need you (Ooh-ooh)
I need a drink, I don't need you (Ooh-ooh)
I need a new girl, but I don't need you (Ooh-ooh)
I need some money, but I don't need you (Ooh-ooh)
I need everything, I don't need you (Ooh-ooh)
Don't need you
(Don't need heartache, don't need pain)
Don't need you
(Don't need suffering again and again)
(Don't need heartache, don't need pain)
(Don't need suffering again and again)
