I Don't Need Lyrics

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 losin' weight at last—
Losin' weight and losin' sleep and losin' my mind fast
(STOP)
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 (636-4831) 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 livin'.
Only twenty times as much and all's forgiven

If you'd just come by today
So that I can have you near forever while I say that
I don't need you.
