I heard this song for the first time the other night and I really liked it. I only found out it was by The Pussycat Dolls now. It's gonna be my theme tune of the moment 🙂

I see you looking at me
Like I got something for you
And the way that you stare
Don't you dare
'Cause I'm not about to
Just give it on up to you
'Cause there are some things I won't do
And I'm not afraid to tell you
I don't ever want to leave you confused

The more you try
The less I buy it
And I don't have to think it through
You know if I'm into you

I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete
So let me break it down
I can get off when you ain't around
Oh!

You know I got my own life
And I bought everything that's in it
So if you want to be with me
It ain't all about the bling you bringing
I want a love that's for real
And without that then no deal
And baby I don't need a hand
If it only wants to grab one thing

The more you try
The less I buy it
And I don't have to think it through
You know if I'm feeling you

I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete
So let me break it down
I can get off when you ain't around

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
[Repeat 4X]

I don't need a
I don't need a man, I don't
I don't need a man
I'll get me through
'Cause I know I'm fine
I feel brand new

I don't need a
I don't need a man, I don't
I don't need a man
I'll make it through
'Cause I know I'm fine
Without you!

I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete
So let me break it down
I can get off when you ain't around
Oh!

I don't need a man (I'm over you)
I don't need a man (I'm over you)
I don't need a man
(I'm without you)
(I'm over you)

I don't need a man
I don't need a man
I don't need a man

Hmmmm, well ..... that's the current mentality going on among many ladies. However, I'm in the minority 😛 I don't think this way at all 🙂 I feel that everybody needs somebody, whether they want to admit it or not.

Being desperate and doing whatever it takes to get a guy ... HAHAHA, THAT COULD NEVER BE ME 😉 That's way too much pointless and I like value my integrity (Oh Yeah) 😛

*BUT* that would be very selfish very selfish and condecending to believe that I may not need a guy that maybe in need of a girl like me ^_^.

Hey, you have a point Mellow 😉

I've just heard many women and men say that they don't need each other ... but I think that's sooooooo silly. We can't seem to make it work with each other, that's the problem -- I think it's sad 😢 There are many factors why we can't make it work but I don't have time to type all that 😄

Plus people are quite aware of what's wrong but most don't want to do anything about it.

Anyone heard this song?

Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...

Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...

And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karoke..
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that he's gonna lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing 3 dollars worth of that bathroom Polo...
And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat,
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I might saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats...

Yeah ST but this song is about the fact that women tend to like having a partner to share things with and cuddle and all the stuff that isn't sex. Men are a lot more able to cope with not engaging in these type of activities. Of course a straight woman would like a man to give her sexual pleasure but ut us a futile and empty experience unless the guy having sex with her has an emotional affectionate relationship with her too.

I luv men I luv mennnnnnnnn... here and there and enough to throw up in the air weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol

sorry, too much sugar! lol

yeah but I don't need 'em either... which I swear is something I have never said out loud or to a man ha ha haha they take it the wrong way, kinda sounds feminist don't you think? but I mean, why really would we need 'em? I think we're not even supposed to need a man... just indulge in the one/s you got 😛 This doesn't make sense because if we said 'I NEED a man' doesn't that make you needy?

Oh my freak, wait, we are needy... all of us... on some level LOL

Ok I've changed my mind... I do need a man... or want one... whatever lol

(I could live without one just fine)

+ a man(+) that complements me= more happiness 🙂 weee

+ a dork (-) = 😢

*stares out window*

... september, wow, it's a litttle bit cloudy and windy outside... then it's gonna get rainy and I get to cuddle up with my crabby yummmmmm 😛

I was really sick all week this week, and Monday I shut my phone off, and left a msg for my guy that I felt badly and was going to crawl into bed. He left me msgs and worried about me until I agreed to let him come and comfort me. He came and brought soup for me, brought me my meds and held me all night.

The vibrator just can't replace that....no I don't need a man, but I sure do want this one in my life. 🙂

" I'm sorry if ya don't understand what I'm talkin bout....and hope someday you have the pleasure of agreeing with me..but I was actually responding to mellow dee,"

Good for you stardance and I envy your loving and caring relationship with your man and yes you're darn right that nothing in the physcial pleasure department can surpass the sensuous touch of a lover who wants you as much as you want him. Yes please I'd like to order one too please waiter, for starters, main course and dessert!! I'm guess you read into what I was saying that I don't see the point of a man in my life but that's not the case. I truely would love a man to have a relationship with. I have tried it a few times and although, as Vanessa says it's not that unusual to or rare to be in love, I have realised that also it's not that easy to find the partner that is right for you.

When I broke up with some of my boyfriends, at the time I was very upset and felt sick for weeks and months afterwards coming to terms with the fact that we weren't together anymore. (Not having your man to snuggle up to in bed was one of the aspects I missed so much). But this catchy upbeat song by the Pussycat Doll's reminds me anyway that just because I haven't met the man for me yet, I don't need a man in order to have fun and feel happy, complete and confident.

" I do hope she will someday feel that though she may not need a man, she may want the love and excitement of a real man"

Well your hope had been already realised at the time of typing that 🙂

Mellow,

Gotch-ya...you're right, I was reading man hating into it and when I re-read the song I can see I what you mean. I agree very much that there are unfortunate women that NEED a man to define them and women that think because men have sex with them they r loved. I feel real sorry for them because those attitudes come from low self esteem and I think that self esteem is something that is developed when we r young and not an easy thing to correct in yourself if you r afflicted with it. I am very happy for women that realize they can be happy without a man and will not compromise their standards and goal just to have a man but also know there r good men too.

Thanks for your congratulations, I am beyond a doubt in love with someone who is in love with me and we choose to be together because we enjoy being together nore than being apart. We are good to each other and I think it is rare to find someone who is as good for you as you r for them. I know we've been together such a short time, but because we share honest feelings, hopes and desires, I think there is reason for much hope and celebration. Oh, and the bling, well, the earrings he gave me saturday night are nice, but not important enough to make or break a good bond.

So on that note, good day to you all! 🙂
