[Verse 1] I don't need no lover
I need a mother to come to my room
I don’t need no father
I need an ocean to carry my mood
And I need your love
I don't need one else around
I need you, love
I need to get the hell out of this town

[Chorus] I don't need no lover
But I sure like keeping you around
I don’t need no lover
I'll try not to let you down

[Verse 2] I don't doubt it
I got a feeling
I'll keep seeing you around

[Chorus] I don't need no lover
But I sure like keeping you around
I don't need no lover
I'll try not to let you down, oh
I don't need no lover
But I sure like keeping you around
Honey, I don’t need no lover
I’ll try not to let you down
(Let you down, to let you down)
I don't need no lover
I sure like keeping you around (Keeping you around)
I don’t need no lover (Ooh, oh)
I'll try not to let you down
