You don't need me baby, like I need myself
You could lose me like you could find yourself
You know you say that you love me
And you're trying so hard to sell
Long as it don't threaten you or get too personal

What I need is patience, the will to will myself
Not your complications, you could find somebody else
Who would jump when you holler
And clap when you sing
I won't give up my membership for just most anything

So put off your acting and put on your grin
Just think you get another chance to tell your jokes again
You know you say that you love me
And you're trying so hard to sell
Long as it don't threaten you or get too personal
