She don't need him to fix the sink no she can do it herself The tools are out in the shed and she don't need his help She learned it from her daddy, he can fix 'most anything No they don't make 'em like they used to anymore He don't need her to sew his shirt no he can do it himself She keeps a needle and a thread in a basket up on the shelf He learned it from his momma, makin' hand me down blue jeans Lookin' brand new like they just come from the store Don't every strong man, need a strong woman Don't ever little town need a river rollin' somewhere through it Don't every summer night, need fallin' stars Don't every first kiss need the back seat of somebody's daddy's car That's just the way it is, they depend on one another That's just the way they need each other She don't need Whisky to make him dizzy she can do it herself Dancing round and round in the kitchen in a low cut dress He don't need diamonds to turn her on no he can do it himself He pulls her in so close she feels his heart beat in his chest Don't every strong man, need a strong woman Don't ever little town need a river rollin' somewhere through it Don't every summer night, need fallin' stars Don't every first kiss need the back seat of somebody's daddy's car That's just the way it is, they depend on one another That's just the way they need each other He reaches over to turn out the light she can't reach it herself Then she quietly reads his mind before he reads it himself Don't every strong man, need a strong woman Don't ever little town need a river rollin' somewhere through it Don't every summer night, need fallin' stars Don't every first kiss need the back seat of somebody's daddy's car That's just the way it is, they depend on one another That's just the way they need each other That's just the way they need each other
