You told me you loved me
You said I'd be sorry
But I'm feeling pretty happy with myself
You said I would need you
You thought I would grieve you
But it turns out you're no good for my health
Why are we taught that we need a man
That we need a plan
That we need a man
To be happy
When do you think they will understand
I don't need a man
Can they understand
That I'm happy
Without somebody here holding my hand so
Can I be alone tonight
Can I be here without you by my side
Is that against the rules
Is that against the rules
Is that against the rules
Society keeps telling me
That's not how I'm supposed to be
But I'm happy
And I don't need you to complete me
I'm living without you
Contentness is so true
Because I'm feeling myself
Don't need nobody else
And I'm doing what I do
I thought I would need you
Potentially treat you
Like nobody else would do
Nobody else would do
Nobody else would
Why are we taught that we need a man
That we need a plan
That we need a man
To be happy
When do you think they will understand
I don't need a man
Can they understand
That I'm happy
Without somebody here holding my hand so
Can I be alone tonight
Can I be here without you by my side
Is that against the rules
Is that against the rules
Is that against the rules
Society keeps telling me
That's not how I'm supposed to be
But I'm happy
And I don't need you to complete me
Cause I'm good all on my own
Don't need you calling up my phone
Don't need no
Don't need no
Don't need nobody
Cause I'm good all on my own
Don't need you calling up my phone
Without somebody here holding my hand so
Can I be alone tonight
Can I be here without you by my side
Is that against the rules
Is that against the rules
Is that against the rules
Society keeps telling me
That's not how I'm supposed to be
But I'm happy
And I don't need you to complete me
