Lyrics
(One, Two, Three, Four)
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
Late at night I got movies and things
To keep me busy
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
If you wanted
I’ll be around
And if you wanted
I won’t turn you down
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
Late at night I got magazines
To keep me busy
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
But if you wanted
I’ll be around
And if you wanted
I won’t turn you down, no
I wanted to
I wanted to
I wanted to
And if you wanted
I'll be around
And if you wanted, oh
I wont turn you down, no
Cause if you wanted
Oh, I'll be around
Cause if you wanted
I won’t turn you down
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
I don't need you, you think I need you?
I don't need you
