I Don't Need You

I don't need you

I don't need you half as much

As you need me

And I thank my lucky stars

That you have freed me



'Cause I'm losing weight at last

Losing weight and losing sleep

And losing my mind fast



I don't need you

I don't miss you in the way

I expected

I have time to clean the sink

And feel neglected



Will I call you up? I won't

I forgot your number 6364831



And I don't need you

I don't need you like my life depended on it

You're gone, you're gone, you're gone

It only affects me in the hours

When I need you, I need you



But I don't want you

I do crosswords

And I'm weaving a basket

And I'd never take you back

Unless you ask it



I don't need you

I don't need you like my life depended on it

You're gone, you're gone, you're gone

It only affects me in the hours

When I need you, I need you



But I don't love you

I don't love you like

With whom you are living

Only twenty times as much

And all's forgiven



If you'd come by today

So that I can have you near forever while I say

That I don't need you, I don't need you

I don't need you



I don't need you

I don't need you

I don't need you

I don't need you



Need you

Need you

Need you
