"This is a story of a girl who didn't need love
Now, there once was a girl
Who didn't need love
She said she thought it was silly
She was so far above
How she'd laugh when her friends
Would say, look at my ring
And she'd say
That doesn't mean a thing
[I don't need love
I don't need love
You can have that ring - little star above
I don't need love]
Then one day it happened
For a boy came her way
And he kissed her and he held her
And her heart was so gay
When he left her for another
Her poor heart broke in two
But she cried
I don't need you
[I don't need love
I don't need love
You can have that ring - little star above
I don't need love]"
