You Don’t Need a Man Songtext
von Harry Connick, Jr.

What could I offer you that you would need?
Why would I wanna make an angel bleed?
I think you′re fighting something
I think you know it's true
Why did you stay away when you always knew?

You don′t need a man to make you a woman
But I'm telling you, you need the shade to make you shine
And you don't need love (Love), you need something better
You show me your soul and I′ll show you mine


I′ve seen how people treat you so nice
The truth is nothing happens in paradise
I came to haunt you, I came to bring the world apart
With a thousand flowers and a broken heart

You don't need a man to make you a woman
But I′m telling 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

Uh, I didn't know you were so conventional
Thought you needed a man to hold your hand
Don′t you know I'm one-dimensional?
I will show you, yeah, I'll show you

You don′t need a man to make you a woman
But I′m telling you, you need the shade to make you shine
And you don't need love (Love, love), you need something better
You show me your soul and I′ll show you mine, yeah
