I Don't Need You Anymore

(album: Looking For Jack - 1987)

I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore now
When you leave please close the door
I can't stand it any more

Now you're gone
On and on, I'll carry on

Are you here to give me pain?
Behind your eyes you're still the same now
Please don't smile and play those games
And don't pretend that you have changed

Now be gone
On and on, I'll carry on

When first I knew you'd gone
The wind grew colder
But after the pain had gone
I felt much older
You had my very soul and my completeness
And now I find you here
You leave me speechless

I don't need you any more
No you can't sleep on the floor now
You'd stay a while and then you'd go
And I can't love you any more

Now please be gone
On and on, I'll carry on
