Hush my baby, don't cry tonight
My ears are sick of that sound
I've been searching for someone to love
Looks like you're all that I've foundI've been up, I've been down
Got a man in every port and every town
I've got nothing, boy toys and plaything
Are a shallow rewardDon't need a lover, I don't need a man
I don't need anything, I don't need a man
I need the moon, I need the star
I need an equal to capture my heartI've had all types of men in this world
I've had princes and frogs
Chocolate, vanilla, rich, poor and a killer
Devil, demi-God, clergy and dogMen, they will come, men, they will go
They're not what I'd call a man
Nothing on earth can satisfy me
I can do better I can, I know I canDon't need a lover, I don't need a man
I don't need anything, don't want a man
I need the moon, I need the star
I need an equal to capture my heart
