I Don’t Need Your Love

[CATHERINE PARR]

You know I love you, boy

In every single way

Though I love you, boy

I'll miss you every day

Oh I love you, boy

I wish that I could stay with you

And keep the life I made with you

And even though this feels so right

I'm holding back the tears tonight

It's true I'll never be over you

'Cause I have built a future in my mind with you

And now the hope is gone

There's nothing left for me to do

You know it isn't true

But I must say to you

That I don't need your love, no, no

I don't need your love, no, no

It'll never be better than it was, no, no

But I don't need your love, no, no

I've got no choice

With the King I stay alive

Never had a choice

Been a wife twice before, just to survive

I don't have a choice

If Henry says "It's you" , then it's you

No matter how I feel

It's what I have to do

But if, somehow, I had that choice

No holding back, I'd raise my voice

I'd say: Henry, yeah it's true

I'll never belong to you

'Cause I am not your toy, to enjoy till there's something new

As if I'm gonna give up my boy, my work, my dreams

To care for you

Ha, darling, get a clue

There's nothing you can do

I don't need your love, no, no

No, I don't need you love, no, no

There's nothing left to discuss, no, no

But I don't need your love, no, no

But I can't say that

Not to the king

So this is goodbye

All my love

Catherine

So I sent that letter to my love

Got married to the king

Became the one who survived

I've told you about my life

The final wife

But why should that story

Be the one I have to sing about

Just to win? I'm out

That's not my story

There's so much more

Remember that I was a writer

I wrote books and psalms and meditations

Fought for female education

So all my women could independently

Study scripture

I even got a woman to paint my picture

Why can't I tell that story?

'Cause in history

I'm fixed as one of six

And without him

I disappear

We all disappear

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]

So we had no choice

[ANNE BOLEYN]

But now it's us alone

[JANE SEYMOUR]

So we've got no choice

[ANNE OF CLEVES]

No, we've got no choice

[KATHERINE HOWARD]

We're taking back the microphone

[CATHERINE PARR]

I'm gonna raise my voice

[TODAS]

They always said

We need your love

But it's time for us to rise above

It's not what went down in history

But tonight I'm singing this for me

Henry, yeah, I'm through

Too many times it's been told

And I have had enough (I have had enough)

Love stories to get old

And you might think it's tough

But I've got to let your love run cold

We're taking back control (we're taking back control)

You need to know

I don't need your love, no, no

No, I don't need your love, no, no

Can't let it get the better of us, no, no

I don't need your love, no, no

I don't need your love, no, no

No, I don't need your love, no, no

I don't need your love, no, no

I don't need your love

We don't need your love
