I don´t need you
I don´t need friendship
And I don´t need flowers in the Spring
And don´t need you
And you surely don´t need me.
I don´t need love and affection
And I don´t need peace and harmony
And I don´t need you
And you surely don´t need me. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kenny_rogers/i_dont_need_you.html ]
But we both want it bad enough
Yes, we both want it, don´t we?
I don´t need you, baby
And I know you don´t need me.
I don´t need your loving arms around me
All I need is to be free
That´s what I keep telling myself
And I tell you: âyou don´t need meâ.
I don´t need children in my old age
No more cluttered leaves around the trees
And I don´t need you
We don´t need eachother baby
We don´t need eachother baby, or do we?
This guy is trying to convince himself that he doesn't need the simple things in life such as; flowers in the spring, sunshine, cluttered leaves around the tree with kids romping through them; his protests are speaking loudly as he ends the song with a question to his love about whether or not they need each other, "or do we? " yeah, we all need this affection, love, flowers & each other.. Kids, grandkids & all. Thanksgod!!
