[Verse 1]
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 found
I've been up
I've been down
Got a man in every port and every town
I've got nothing
Boy toys and playthings
Are a shallow reward

[Chorus]
Don'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 stars
I need an equal to capture my heart

[Verse 2]
I've had all types
Of men in this world
I've had princes and frogs
Chocolate, vanilla
Rich, poor, and the killer
Devil, demigod
Clergy and dog
[Verse 3]
Men, 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 can

[Chorus]
Don't need a lover
Don't need a man
I don't need anything
Don't want a man
I need the moon
I need the stars
I need an equal to capture my heart
