I don't need you to love me
I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me
When you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry
I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay
I'll get out your way

I don't know when you decided your friends
Were in this relationship too
Please let me understand
Why I've got boys acting like men
Telling me doo-doo like
What you've been up to?
Oh, why can't you just be true?

I don't need you to love me
I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me
When you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry
I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way

Where did the privacy go?
The place, the space
The only thing you and me know
Supposed to me and you
Not the mates of your mates
And their followers too
If you do it that way then gimme
Gimme, gimme my Independence Day

I don't need you to love me
I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me
When you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry
I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way

Runaway, runaway, runaway now
Getaway, getaway, getaway now
I'm away, I'm away, get away, get away
Runaway, runaway, runaway now
Getaway, getaway, getaway, getaway

I don't need you to love me
I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me
When you're wanting someone else
And I don't need you to worry
I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way
I don't need you to love me
I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me
When you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry
I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay
I'll get out your way
