I Want You, But I Don't Need You - Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman

I like you, and I’d like you to like me to like you

But I don’t need you

Don’t need you to want me to like you

Because if you didn’t like me

I would still like you, you see

La la la

I lick you, I like you to like me to lick you

But I don’t need you

Don’t need you to like me to lick you

If your pleasure turned into pain

I would still lick for my personal gain

La la la

I fuck you, and I love you to love me to fuck you

But I don’t fucking need you

Don’t need you to need me to fuck you

If you need me to need you to fuck

That fucks everything up

La la la

I want you, and I want you to want me to want you

But I don’t need you

Don’t need you to need me to need you

That’s just me so take me or leave me

But please don’t need me

Don’t need me to need you to need me

Cos we’re here one minute, the next we’re dead

So love me and leave me

But try not to need me

Enough said

I want you, but I don’t need you

I love you, and I love how you love how I love you

But I don’t need you

Don’t need you to love me to love you

If your love changed into hate

Would my love have been a mistake?

La la la

So I’m gonna leave you, and I’d like you to leave me to leave you

But lover believe me, it isn’t because I don’t need you (you know I don’t need

you)

All I wanted was to be wanted

But you’re drowning me deep in your need to be needed

La la la
