One, two, one, two, one, two
You think I was hurting, but damn I wasn't
I was looking for all of the pain through your eyes

Don't do it
Don't do it to me
Cause you know I need someone in my life

Like you, oh no
Why do we always need someone else
To lean up on and get the other half done for ya

Baby I don't need you
I don't need you honey
But I need you


PRECHORUS
Life, it's my preference, and I choose love

Because I trust in you
Though your decadence shows me the light
Sometimes it's just too tight

I'm contemplating just what to do
I invest my soul but I gotta change my truth


CHORUS
Oh, just 'cause he says he loves you
Doesn't mean that he do

Just 'cause he says he needs you
Doesn't mean that it's true
You know you really don't love him

You know he really don't care
To him you're just another woman
To you he's another affair


Over, and over again
I attempted to pretend, there's a means

Before we end, oh no
Shattered pieces of my heart
Mended though they fall apart

I don't need the questions on
Why I do what I do
'Cause I'm cold in every sense of the word

And you've been too
Take a slice of your strife
And multiply by two

When you look at me
'Cause that's the way I'm looking at you


PRECHORUS

Just 'cause he says he loves you

Doesn't mean that he do
Just 'cause he says he needs you
Doesn't mean that it's true
