She doesn't see it in the mirror   Something about her isn't right   She may look stunning to us   But she's breaking down tonight      She's not like you and me   She's got talent marks   All the way to Tennessee   One for each successful scumbag seduction now      And what you need now   A little self respect somehow   And what you need now   Is a mother who loves you      Don't need a man to decide   Don't need another to define who you are girl   Don't need that man   (Who has anyone's face and his car's waiting right outside)   Don't need a man to define you      She waits at the bar   Alone, lonely   Longing to feel lovely to someone, everyone   she's scared, but she never admits that to herself      She finds a new target, homes in upon it   Pieces of her slip away   The next day   It's been another successful scumbag seduction now      And what you need now   A little self respect somehow   And what you need now   Is a mother who loves you      Don't need a man to decide   Don't need another to define who you are girl   Don't need that man   (Who has anyone's face and his car's waiting right outside)   Don't need a man to define you      She only feels beautiful   When she is in someone else's bed   She only feels beautiful   When she is in someone else's bed      Don't need a man to decide   Don't need another to define who you are girl   Don't need that man   (Who has anyone's face and his car's waiting right outside)   Don't need a man to define you
