I can see you looking over my direction
I thought it was a good thing
I guess I was wrong
You don't wanna hurt me
You don't wanna bring me down, no
You just wanna scold me
Just because of someone else, and

I don't need you putting me down, no
I don't need you cursing my soul
I don't need you pretending you want me
I'll be better off here on my own

I can see the pictures hanging up along the walls
Nobody to warn me of anything you had in store
You don't wanna please me
You don't wanna play around, no
You just wanna scold me
Just because of someone else, and

I don't need you putting me down, no
I don't need you cursing my soul
I don't need you pretending you want me
I'll be better off here on my own
Alone
I don't need you putting me down, no
I don't need you cursing my soul
I don't need you pretending you want me
I'll be better off here on my own
