I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin' I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin' I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin' I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin' I don't need no man and I don't need no lovin' and no man and no lovin' and no man don't need no man to hold me through the night and I don't need no man to tell me its all right and I don't need no man to help me be strong and I don't need no man to string me right along cause he'll mess with your mind and he'll mess with your heart then he'll tell you he loves you right before he departs Oh I don't need no man to call me "Honey Pie" and I don't need no man to look at me and lie and I don't need no man to promise me the world and I don't need no man to call me his "Little Girl" cause he'll flash you his smile pouring on all his charm then he'll get up and leave you while your hand is still warm Oh I can sacrifice another broken promise I think that I can tolerate someone being honest I know it would be difficult but I think that I could cope cause the truth is much more worthy than a lot of empty hope I suppose that I am worthy but there's no way to be sure if I don't drain myself of this poison I will never find a cure So in yourself keep your pride from those men do not hide your mind is your power do not let it divide Oh I don't need no man.
