I see you lookin' at me like I got somethin' that's for you 
And the way that you stare, don't cha dare 'cause I'm not about to 
Just give it all up to you 
'Cause there are some things I won't do 
And I'm not afraid to tell you I don't ever want to leave you confused 

The more you try the less I buy it and 
I don't have to think it through 
You'll know if I'm into you 

[Chorus:] 
I don't need a man to make it happen 
I get off bein' free 
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doin' my thing 
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete 
So let me break it down
I can get off when you ain't around! 

You know I've got my own life and I bought everything that's in it 
So if you want to be with me it ain't at all about the bling you're bringin' 
I want a love that's for real 
And without that, no deal 
And baby I don't need a hand if it only wants to grab one thing 

The more you try the less I buy it and 
I don't have to think it through 
You'll know if I'm into you 

[Chorus] 

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (let it go!) 
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (baby...) 
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (no no no no...) 
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go (let it go!) 

I don't need a-I don't need a man, I don't 
I don't need a man to get me through
'Cause I'm doin' fine I feel brand new 
I don't need a-I don't need a man, I don't 
I don't need a man to make it through
'Cause I'm doin' fine without you! 

[Chorus] 

Oh, I don't need a man 
I'm over you, yeah! 
I don't need a man (ohh I'm over you) 
I don't need a man (without you) 
I'm over you 
Oh! I don't need a man 
I don't need a man (did I complete 'cha? I don't need ya!) 
I don't need a man
