I Don't Need Anybody
My daddy taught me to be strong
That life is tough but it goes on
He'd tell me: "Straighten up and fly right"
And showed me how to walk that line
My mother taught me all is fair
In love and war and what to wear
They both made me who I am
Now I know how to stand alone
Cause I don't need anybody to tell me I'm not good enough
I don't need some stupid man sayin' I'm not thin enough
I don't need someone to tell me how to live my life
Cause I'm a legend's daughter
I don't need to be your wife
I don't need a mechanic to show me how to fix my car
I don't need some rich producer sayin': "You'll never be a star"
Cause I know who I am
And I don't care who you think you are
Never thought I was very pretty
But that's because I couldn't see
That it was just jealousy
They couldn't handle someone like me
All those lovers of my past
Well It just never seemed to last
That's because they didn't know
That I make the rules I run the show
Cause I don't need anybody to tell me I'm not good enough
I don't need some stupid man sayin' I'm not thin enough
I don't need someone to tell me how to live my life
Cause I'm a legend's daughter
I don't need to be your wife
I don't need a mechanic to show me how to fix my car
I don't need some rich producer sayin': "You'll never be a star"
Cause I know who I am
And I don't care who you think you are
Maybe there's a man for me out there in this world
But I'm not gonna waste my time tryin' to be somebody's girl
Cause I don't need anybody to tell me I'm not good enough
I don't need some stupid man sayin' I'm not thin enough
I don't need someone to tell me how to live my life
Cause I'm a legend's daughter
I don't need to be your wife
I don't need a mechanic to show me how to fix my car
I don't need some rich producer sayin': "You'll never be a star"
Cause I don't need anybody
And I don't give a damn who you think you are
That life is tough but it goes on
He'd tell me: "Straighten up and fly right"
And showed me how to walk that line
My mother taught me all is fair
In love and war and what to wear
They both made me who I am
Now I know how to stand alone
Cause I don't need anybody to tell me I'm not good enough
I don't need some stupid man sayin' I'm not thin enough
I don't need someone to tell me how to live my life
Cause I'm a legend's daughter
I don't need to be your wife
I don't need a mechanic to show me how to fix my car
I don't need some rich producer sayin': "You'll never be a star"
Cause I know who I am
And I don't care who you think you are
Never thought I was very pretty
But that's because I couldn't see
That it was just jealousy
They couldn't handle someone like me
All those lovers of my past
Well It just never seemed to last
That's because they didn't know
That I make the rules I run the show
Cause I don't need anybody to tell me I'm not good enough
I don't need some stupid man sayin' I'm not thin enough
I don't need someone to tell me how to live my life
Cause I'm a legend's daughter
I don't need to be your wife
I don't need a mechanic to show me how to fix my car
I don't need some rich producer sayin': "You'll never be a star"
Cause I know who I am
And I don't care who you think you are
Maybe there's a man for me out there in this world
But I'm not gonna waste my time tryin' to be somebody's girl
Cause I don't need anybody to tell me I'm not good enough
I don't need some stupid man sayin' I'm not thin enough
I don't need someone to tell me how to live my life
Cause I'm a legend's daughter
I don't need to be your wife
I don't need a mechanic to show me how to fix my car
I don't need some rich producer sayin': "You'll never be a star"
Cause I don't need anybody
And I don't give a damn who you think you are
