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 losing weight at last Losing weight and losing sleep And losing my mind fast 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 6364831 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 living Only twenty times as much And all's forgiven If you'd come by today So that I can have you near forever while I say That I don't need you, I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you Need you Need you Need you
