[Verse 1: Brandon Rhyder]
She don’t need him to fix the sink- no she can do it herself
The tools are out in the shed- and she don’t need his help
She learned it from her daddy- he could fix most anything
No they don’t make’em like they used to- anymore

[Verse 2: Brandon Rhyder]
He don’t need her to sew his shirt- no he can do it himself
She keeps a needle and thread in a basket- up on the shelf
He learned it from his mama- making hand me down blue jeans
Lookin’ brand new like they just came from the store

[Chorus: Brandon Rhyder & Lori McKenna]
Don’t every strong man- need a strong woman
Don’t every little town- need a river somewhere rollin’ through it
Don’t every summer night- need falling stars
Don’t every first kiss need the backseat of somebody’s daddy’s car
That’s just the way it is- they depend on one another
That’s the way they need each other

[Verse 3: Lori McKenna]
She don’t need whisky to make him dizzy- she can do it herself
Dancing round and round in the kitchen in a low cut dress
He don’t need diamonds to turn her on- no he can do it himself
He pulls her in so close- she feels his heartbeat in his chest
