I can't say I need you cause I really don't
you say you'll love me forever but you won't
don't make promises that you can't keep
cause in the end it will only make me weep
it will do me no good for you to do that
cause I've heard promises like this in the past
and this time I've learned that they can't be true
I've hurt from these mistakes before but I got through
chorus
please don't make me cry tears of steel
please don't make me so numb I can't feel
pleaes don't cause me aching pain in my heart
please don't shoot me with your poisonous dart
please don't suck the life out of my soul with your sharp dagger teeth
so if you are looking for a one night stand get the hell away from me
I'm not going to say I can't live without you cause I can
it would be great to go out with you but I don't need a man
I don't need a relationship to make me happy in life
I don't need someone to hold me to get me through the night
I don't need to define myself in another person to know me
I don't need to be in love to know that I am really pretty
I can get by on my own however I would love to have you come along
I would love to have you in my life but I don't need you to be strong
chorus
I love you more than anything else
when I feel you touch me I just melt
and although I don't need you in my life
I would love it if you were it would be all right
and although I can live without you here with me
I'd rather not have to with you is where I'd rather be
so what I am trying to say
is I love you in every way
chorus
