We met at the bar top
You asked me what I got
I'm living a legacy
I'll drive a Cadillac or a Benz-E
I'll enter on stage right
Play for a sold-out night
Be living my fantasy
Then you said tell me about your plan B
Oh, a back up, I really don't know
Your doubtful eyes really show
That you don't believe in my dream
Means that you can be on my team, whoa-whoa
I thought you were cute
Don't mean to be rude but this date is through
I don't need you bringing me down
I don't need you bringing me down
You're not someone I need around
'Cause I don't need you bringing me down, oh yeah
Guess you just can't see
Same way you have to breathe
Is how much I need melodies
This just ain't a choice
It's my remedy, uh
I need a believer, a real high achiever
Pushing me to be the best
Not people like you who settle for less
Bartender, I need another drink
Think again you won't see any more of me
My music will take me where I need
Needing a lift to get you out of reach
I thought you were cute
Don't mean to be rude but this date is through
I don't need you bringing me down
I don't need you bringing me down
You're not someone I need around
'Cause I don't need you bringing me down
What a waste
Ta-ra-ra-ta-ta
Ta-ra-ra-ta-ta
Ta-ra-ra-ta-ta
What a waste
Ta-ra-ra-ta-ta
Ta-ra-ra-ta-ta
Ta-ra-ra-ta-ta
I thought you were cute
With those blue eyes and curls
Don't mean to be rude
But you can't be in my world
I thought you were cute
What a letdown today
Don't mean to be rude
But I have to say
I don't need you bringing me down (I don't need you)
I don't need you bringing me down
You're not someone I need around (I don't need you)
'Cause I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you bringing me down
I don't need you bringing me down
You're not someone I need around
'Cause I don't need you bringing me down
