I Don't Need You To

Samantha Mumba


I don't need you to 
Tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful 
I don't need you to 
Give me your strength to make me feel I'm strong 
I got all of the strength that I need here inside my own two hands 
All that I want is your love and respect for who I am 
What I really need 
Comes from deep inside of me 

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful 
Don't need you to make me strong 
Cause I'm strong on my own 
Doesn't come from outside 
This beauty I know 
Comes from inside my soul 
[Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty] 

I don't need you to 
Believe in me to let me know I'm worth believing in 
I don't need you to 
Hold me up, I know I can stand tall 
I can stand tall 
I can stand my own ground 
I can stand tall upon my own two feet 
Don't need to be part of somebody else to be complete 
What I really need comes from deep inside of me 

[Chorus] 

Don't need to come to you for confirmation 
Because I've finally come to this revelation 
What I really need 
I'm gonna find inside of me 
Not in somebody else 
Respect comes when you respect yourself 

[Chorus] 

Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty 
To know I'm beautiful
