I don’t need no man….messing up my plans….my life is simple and I like it that way…..I’ve been through all that many times before……I’m doing fine my heart is mine….i check the lock frequently on that door….they always leave a mess….I get upset….not going through that anymore…..I don’t need a man

My routine is set….took some time to arrange it…and I always know what to expect….what would it be for?……I like my thoughts and they seldom get caught in the fables I tell myself……no one here….no bars to  clear and my illusions go unchecked….I’m always right….and I answer to myself…..so I’ll plug along and keep my heart up there on the shelf……there it’s safe and it no longer breaks and it has mended very well….we don’t need the pain ….we never have to explain….and we are happy by ourselves…..we don’t need no man…..

when my heart pines for kind words and a touch ….I quickly recant all the memories love sent and the hours we spent sobbing with our head in our hands….so we built this fence high to keep from going through that again….now listen heart “we don’t need no man….don’t you understand….play that tape back once more”….

I hear you whimper from time to time and remind you that the love we gave was never repaid and never appreciated for it’s worth….alone we are fine….everything is in line …..and we clean up after ourselves….the toothpaste is squeezed in the proper way and the cap is always replaced….doors never slam …….life is grand sitting here looking out at the mountains……by ourselves……

we don’t need no man

so let’s go on ….I’ll protect you from all harm and push those intimate thoughts away……just can’t see giving our love away…..and taking those chances again……you listen here I thought I made it clear

we don’t need no man…

do we?
