Lyrics
I Don't Need You
I got a promotion at work today. I don?t need you
Everything?s going my way. I don?t need you.
Now, there?s a family down the street, who ain?t got enough to eat.
And their kids could use new shoes on their feet,
But, I don?t need you.
My kids are away at college
My parents are doing well.
I married my high school sweetheart, she?s a real southern bell
I went to church just yesterday, I listened to what the preacher had to say
I even bowed my head when they prayed
But, I don?t need you.
Chorus:
I?ve done it all by myself without help from no one else.
You know I ought to write a book about how easy it is,
and call it, ?I Don?t Need You.?
Lead
I got laid off at work today. The boss said, ?I don?t need you.?
My wife has run away.
The note read, ?I don?t need you.
My kids left college today, the tuition was more than I could pay
And my mom just passed away. Lord, I need you,
I went to church again today
This time I listened to what the preacher had to say.
And, I wept as I knelt down to pray. Lord, I need you
I must have been such a fool to think anything happens without you.
And I?m ready to be the man you want me too. Lord, I need you
