kenny rogers - i don't need you lyrics

i don't need you
i don't need friendship
and i don't need flowers in the spring
and i don't need you
and you surely don't want me

i don't need love and affection
and i don't peace and harmony
and i don't need you
and you surely don't need me

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 tellin' myself
and i tell you, you don't need me

i don't need children in my old age
no more cluttered leaves around the trees
and i don't need you, baby
and i know you don't need me

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

and we don't need each other, baby
we don't need each other, baby
or do we
