I Don’t Need A Man

Written by Douglas Firestein & Gloria Firestein

I wake up every morning to
Prepare myself for the grind
Listen to random musings from
A stranger I met last night

He thinks we are going places
I don’t have the same plans
He just fills a lonesome void
But I’m not looking for anything

I don’t, don’t, don’t
Need a man
I won’t, won’t, won’t
Try to understand
Why a grown-ass woman
Needs a hard-luck man
Telling her what she can or can’t
No I don’t, don’t, don’t need a man

Sitting on a bench at the park
Watching the children play
It’s a good place to meet a man
After his wife has run away

Making out in public spaces
Or behind bushes in the dark
I’m not looking for anything
I just enjoy the act of making love

I don’t, don’t, don’t
Need a man
I won’t, won’t, won’t
Try to understand
Why a grown-ass woman
Needs a hard-luck man
Telling her what she can or can’t
No I don’t, don’t, don’t need a man

I don’t have to give you reasons
Why I choose to be alone
Maybe I’m just a bitch
Who likes to bury a lot of bones

I don’t, don’t, don’t
Need a man
I won’t, won’t, won’t
Try to understand
Why a grown-ass woman
Needs a hard-luck man
Telling her what she can or can’t
No I don’t, don’t, don’t need a man
