I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no man And no love and no man and no love and no man I don't need no man to hold me through the night I don't need no man to tell me it's alright And I don't need no man to help me to be strong And I don't need no man to string me right along Cuz you'll mess with your mind and I'll mess with your heart Then he'll tell you he loves you right before he departs Soooo I don't need no man to call me honey pie and I don't need no man to look at me and lie And I don't need no man to promise me the world And I don't need no man to call me his little girl Cuz he'll flash you his smile pouring on all his charm Then he'll get up and leave you while your hand is still warm Oh I can sacrifice I'm not a broken promise I think that I could tolerate someone being honest I know it would be difficult but I think that I could cope Cuz the truth is much more worth it than a lot of empty hope I suppose that I am worthy but there's no way to be sure If I don't drain myself of this poison I will never find a cure I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin I don't need no man and I don't need no man and no love and no man and no love and no man So in yourself keep your pride From those men do not hide Your mind is your power do not let it divide I don't need no man
