I Don't Need a Man

This is for all the independent ladies

oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
Let’s go

I live well without a man
So if you're not confident
Don't come to me
Don't mess with me carelessly
Because I

I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (what?)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (really)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (truly)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man
I live well without a man

I pay all my rent with my money
Buy what I want to eat, buy clothes to wear
It's enough but I know I won't be satisfied
That's why I love myself (hey)

I use my parents' allowance
I don't want to spend it like money, I'm old enough
Isn't it natural not to ask for handouts?
That's why I'm proud of myself (hey)

Boy don’t say
I'll take care of myself, I'll protect myself, no no
Boy don’t play
If you're not serious

I live well without a man
So if you're not confident
Don't come to me
Don't mess with me carelessly
Because I

I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (what?)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (really)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (truly)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man
I live well without a man

Don't act like you're better, sweat
I may not be as good as you, but I
I haven't improved much, but I'm overflowing with confidence
That's why I love myself (hey)

I live with my own strength, sweat
I meet my parents well like a child, meet men well
I don't care about living comfortably
That's why I'm proud of myself (hey)

Boy don’t say
I'm your future, trust and expect me, no no
Boy don’t play
If you don't respect me

I live well without a man
So if you're not confident
Don't come to me
Don't mess with me carelessly
Because I

I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (what?)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (really)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (truly)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man
I live well without a man

I wake up early every morning, busy all day
Can't even eat a proper meal
But it's what I like, it's what I've done, it's my money, it's small but it's all mine
The ring wasn't bought by a boyfriend

I bought my car, my clothes, I threw them away
I put money in savings, gave my parents an allowance, then bought them
What will you do if you trust and play with a man and he leaves?
Are you envious of me?
If you envy me, it's true

I live well without a man
So if you're not confident
Don't come to me
Don't mess with me carelessly
Because I

I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (what?)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (really)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man (truly)
I don’t need a man I don’t need a man
I live well without a man
