She Don'T Really Need Ya

You're stone cold in your heart man
Hard as solid steel.
And the love she has for you man
Is on the spinning wheel.
     Cause you've been bumming around, slumming around,
     You've thrown her love down on the ground,
     And one of these days you'll find out
     That she don't really need ya.

There's something very wrong man
'Bout the way you carry on.
And if you don't start to treat her right
You'll soon be on your own.
     Cause she's been pushed around, shoved around
     Had her love thrown on the ground,
     And one of these days you'll find out
     That she don't really need ya.

And the way you treat your children
You know it's a crying shame.
Yeah, one of these days they'll leave you man
And stop playing all your games.
Cause they don't need your cutting tongue
No they don't need sarcasm.
What they need is a caring man
Being sure that his love has 'em.
You've hurt them bad with your lying tongue
You've sliced their hearts into
And I'd be surprised if they even have
Any love left at all for you.

So you better stand your watch man
And keep her by your side
Or soon and very soon man
She'll take you for a ride.
     She'll be running around, leaving town
     She'll throw your love down on the ground
     And that's the day you'll find out
     That she don't really need ya.
     Yes that's the day you'll find out
     That she don't really need ya.
