I don't need you to tell me right from wrong
Weak from strong, short from long
I don't need you to tell me how or why
I just need you to be my guy

I don't need you to tell me truth or lies
Don't surmise I fear goodbyes
Don't need you to tell me when or how
I just need you to love me now

I don't need you to fix things
Or pick up after me
No advice on what's mean or nice
Or which side of the argument to see

I don't need you to save me from the world
It's my oyster-you're a pearl
I wanna get my fingers in your hair
And I want you to touch me there

I don't need you to be the boss of me
I've outgrown that, can't you see
You might think you'd like to settle down
But talk of that will make me frown

I don't need you to fix things
Or pick up after me
No advice on what's mean or nice
Or which side of the argument to see

I don't need you to show me all the ropes
Don't be a dope, I can cope
If you have to help me, I'll say nope
I just want you to be my guy
Don't want you if you have to ask why
Come on-I'll show you how to fly
