História Zoey Petterson EP - Track 08. I Don't Need A Man (The Pussycat Dolls' Cover)

[Verse 1]

I see you looking at me

Like I got something that's for you

And the way that you stare, don't you dare

'Cause I'm not about toJust give it all up to you

'Cause there are some things I won't do

And I'm not afraid to tell youI don't ever want to leave you confused

[Pre-Chorus]

The more you try

The less I buy it

And I don't have to think it through

You know if I'm into you

[Chorus]

I don't need a man to make it happen

I get off being free

I don't need a man to make me feel good

I get off doing my thing

I don't need a ring around my finger

To make me feel complete

So, let me break it down

I can get off when you ain't around, oh!

[Verse 2]

You know I got my own life

And I bought everything that's in it

So, if you want to be with me

It ain't all about the bling you bringing (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I want a love that's for real

And without that, no deal

And, baby, I don't need a hand

If it only wants to grab one thing

[Pre-Chorus]

The more you try

The less I buy it

And I don't have to think it through

You know if I'm feelin' you

[Chorus]

I don't need a man to make it happen

I get off being free

I don't need a man to make me feel good

I get off doing my thing

I don't need a ring around my finger

To make me feel complete

So, let me break it down

I can get off when you ain't around, oh!

[Breakdown]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (No, no, no)

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

[Bridge]

I don't need a....

I don't need a man, I don't, a....

I don't need a man to get me through

'Cause I'm doin' fine, I feel brand new

I don't need a....

I don't need a man, I don't

I don't need a man to make it through

'Cause I know I'm fine without you

[Chorus]

I don't need a man to make it happen

I get off being free

I don't need a man to make me feel goo

I get off doing my thing

I don't need a ring around my finger

To make me feel complete

So, let me break it down

I can get off when you ain't around, oh!

[Another]

I don't need a man (I'm over you, yeah)

I don't need a man (Oh, I'm over you)

I don't need a man (I'm without you, I'm over you)

I don't need a man

I don't need a man (I don't need ya, I don't need ya, no)

I don't need a man

Oh!

Q: What does this song tell you? How did this song inspired you early on?

ZP: This song is one of those tracks you play whenever you want to feel empowered or when you feel empowered. This song actually made realize that I don't need a man to be happy, I can have a man to make happier. But I'm enough all by my own.
