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 want me

I don't need love and affection
And I don't peace and harmony

And I don't need you
And you surely don't need me

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

I don't need your loving arms around me
All I need is to be free

That's what I keep tellin' myself
And I tell you, you don't need me

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

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
And we don't need each other, baby
We don't need each other, baby

Or do we
