I don't need a man to make the call for me
I don't need a man to break the fall for me
'Cause I know who I am
And who I wanna be

There used to be a time I had to win the race
Where just to get the guy would put me in first place
But now it's time to fly 'cause I don't need that validation
Just to feel alive

Don't get me wrong, I still wanna fall in love real hard
If it's real and for the right reasons
And I might long for someone to come and steal my heart
But I don't need a man (but I don't need a man)

I wanna watch ya
But I don't need ya, no

I don't need a man to wash the car for me
But if you do insist, then honey take the keys
I hope you understand that I don't have to have you save me
Just to make me feel like I'm all right

Don't get me wrong, I still wanna fall in love real hard
If it's real and for the right reasons
And I might long for someone to come and steal my heart
But I don't need a man (but I don't need a man)

The road's wide open and I'm in for the ride
Though I'm still hoping
I know what I need has to come from the inside, oh
Inside, yeah

It's amazing, times are changing
I'm alone but whose complaining?
I don't need the one to be someone
I'm already fine, oh

Don't get me wrong, I still wanna fall in love real hard
If it's real and for the right reasons
And I might long for someone to come and steal my heart
But I don't need a man (but I don't need a man)

Oh, don't get me wrong I still hope it's written in the stars
'Cause if it's real, I'll be your one and only
It won't be long for someone to come and steal my heart
(But I don't need a man)

I wanna watch ya (yeah yeah)
I don't need ya (no no) no
I wanna watch ya (yeah yeah) uh-huh
But I don't need ya (no no) no
(yeah yeah) uh-huh (no no) no
I wanna watch ya (yeah yeah)
