I Don't Need You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hear a lot of talk about the things you say are good for me to do
I've tried cooperation but I don't get nothing coming back from you
So don't you like my face?
No you look just fine
Don't I know my place?
No you're out of line
Should I shave off my hair?
Yeah, and I'll shave mine
I don't like the things you try to make me do
And I don't need you
I don't need you
What am I gonna do, you drive me crazy when you say those things you say
Every time I see you you have to fight the urge to walk the other way
Don't you like my face?
No you look just fine
Don't I know my place?
No you're out of line
Should I shave off my hair?
Yeah, and I'll shave mine
I don't like the things you try to make me do
And I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you to tell me what to wear
You can say that I don't care, it's true
I don't need you to tell me how to speak
I won't become some kind of geek like you
Just to hear you talk you'd think the world revolves 'round what you've got to say
Now you can give me trouble but I'm going to give it back to you some day
You don't like my face
No you look just fine
I don't know my place
No you're out of line
Should I shave off my hair?
Yeah, and I'll shave mine
I don't like the things you try to make me do
And I don't need you
I don't need you
