Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 need me

[Verse 2]

I don't need love and affection

And I don't need peace and harmony

And I don't need you

And you surely don't need me

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

I don't need your loving arms around me

Oh, all I need is to be free

That's what I keep tellin' myself

And I tell you, you don't need me

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

But we both want it bad enough

Yes, we both want it, don't we?

And I don't need you, baby

And I know you don't need me

[Verse 7]

Now we don't need each other, baby

We don't need each other, baby

Or do we?
