I Don't Need You - Sophie B. Hawkins

I’m going away

As far as I possibly can

And you won’t find me

You will never ever know

How well and good I am

'Cause you don’t define me

There’s people on this earth who can help me

Without using me

There’s people on this earth who can love me

Without abusing me

I don’t need you

Like I thought I did

I don’t need you

To watch me fall

I don’t need you

To make me feel like a lonely kid

I don’t need you, at all

We’re in the eleventh hour

And I seriously thought that we’d break through

I sat in your kitchen and cried

And underneath my words surged my love for you

I reached out my hand for you daddy

And you just turned your cool blue mind away

It’s my birthday and I don’t get no well wishes

Just a letter that you got some rent you think I ought to pay

I don’t need you

Like I used to do

I don’t need you

To save my soul

I don’t need you

To make me feel sad and blue

I don’t need you

Like I always have

I don’t need you

To hope and long for

I don’t need you

To make me feel

Mean and bad

I don’t need you anymore
