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 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

Don't need a lover

Don't need a man

I don't need anything

I don't need a man

I need the moon

I need a star

I need an equal to capture my heart

I've had all types

Of men in this world

I've had princes and frogs

Chocolate, vanilla,

Rich, poor, and the killer,

Devil, demi-god, clergy, and dog

Men they will come

Men they will go

You're not what I'd call a man

Nothing on Earth can satisfy me

I can do better, I can

I know I can

Don't need a lover

Don't need a man

I don't need anything

I don't need a man

I need the moon

I need a star

I need an equal to capture my heart
