'''"I Don't Need You"''' (possibly alternately titled "'''I Am Gay'''"<ref name="cor400s">Screenshot of [[Catalog O' Riffs]] posted by [[Rivers Cuomo]] on Discord: [[:File:Riversgrandfile-400.png]]</ref>) is a song by [[Rivers Cuomo]].

*''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' (2020)

*''[[Alone IX: The Make Believe Years]]'' (2020)

[[Catalog O' Riffs]] entry #404 was, apparently, written around [[2002]] (listed in the Catalog as "I am gay"<ref name="cor400s" />). At some point thereafter, the song was named "I Don't Need You." The song was demoed by Cuomo at S.I.R. Studios in early [[2004]] during preproduction on ''[[Make Believe]]'', but did not make the cut. Two recordings of the song were released to fans in [[2020]] as part of the demo compilations ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' and ''[[Alone IX: The Make Believe Years]]''.

So lonely on my own

I call you but you're not home

It's been so many nights

Since I had you right by my side

And I don't think I could take you back

Even if you change your mind

So back out of my door

You hurt me awful bad

I've never been so sad

And now you think you can

Come right back where you used to be

I have a news report for you

So listen up to me

So back out of my door

And you left me out on my own

Alone, so low

Alone, so low

So back out of my door

And you left me out on my own

...</poem>
