Harry Connick, Jr.
You Don’t Need a Man
[Verse 1]
What could I offer you that you would need?
Why would I wanna make an angel bleed?
I think you're fightin' somethin'
I think you know it's true
Why did you stay away when you always knew?

[Chorus]
You don't need a man
To make you a woman
But I'm tellin' you, you need the shade
To make you shine
And you don't need love
You need something better
You show me your soul
And I'll show you mine

[Verse 2]
I've seen how people treat you so nice
The truth is nothin' happens in paradise
I came to haunt you
I came to blow your world apart
With a thousand flowers and a broken heart

[Chorus]
You don't need a man
To make you a woman
But I'm tellin' you, you need the shade
To make you shine
And you don't need love
You need something better
You show me your soul
And I'll show you mine
[Bridge]
Uh, I didn't know you were so conventional
Why'd you need a man to hold your hand?
Don't you know I'm one-dimensional?
I will show ya
Yeah, I'll show ya

[Chorus]
You don't need a man
To make you a woman
But I'm tellin' you, you need the shade
To make you shine
And you don't need love
You need something better
You show me your soul
And I'll show you mine, yeah!
