Don't Need by Katie, age 10

Katie from Sale, in Cheshire, England sent in this song. I think we've all felt this way sometimes...like maybe no-one else out there *gets* us...I know I certainly have. Katie writes: "I'm my own type of person, my own type of girl." Sometimes, you just have to stand up for yourself, which is exactly what this song does. I love the opening line of the chorus: "I don't need no-one to tell me I can't sing." That's right...sing it Katie!

Post a comment for Katie and let her know how much you enjoyed "Don't Need."


Don't Need

Oooooo 1…2…3…4…

Verse One:
Help me now,
Tell me a bit about me,
And help me out,
Can’t you see I’m really, really going deep?
There's only one thing I need to say,
So here it is: OK

Chorus:
I don’t need no-one to tell me I can’t sing,
I don’t need no-one to tell me I can’t do anything,
Cause’ I’m my own type of person,
My own type of girl,
Don’t really wanna be sociable,
But right now I’m gonna switch,
And I’m gonna turn,

Verse Two:
Things are going on in my mind,
Don’t need to know what’s going on,
Cause’ I feel like I’m being timed,
There's only one thing left to say,
So here it is: OK,

Chorus:
I don’t need no-one to tell me I can’t sing,
I don’t need no-one to tell me I can’t do anything,
Cause’ I’m my own type of person,
My own type of girl,
Don’t really wanna be sociable,
But right now I’m gonna switch,
And I’m gonna turn,

Verse Three:
So here I go again on my own,
Don’t need you to call me,
Won’t pick up the phone,
Just tell me I’m special,
Just tell me I’m needed,
Just tell me you all have feelings,
There's only one thing left to say,
So here it is: OK

Chorus (x2):
I don’t need no-one to tell me I can’t sing,
I don’t need no-one to tell me I can’t do anything,
Cause’ I’m my own type of person,
My own type of girl,
Don’t really wanna be sociable,
But right now I’m gonna switch,
And I’m gonna turn,

Wow, Katie, I can see you found "Your Song"...

like you get one voice, it's yours, and I think at 10 years old, to have found your own song, is a real gift.

I liked your song.
It shows determination, and strength.

I remember some words to an old song but can't place it...it goes,
"sing, sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong, don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear...just sing, sing a song"...

What great lyrics! This song reminded me of a time in elementary school chorus when a girl in my class (the one who was always making fun of people) made fun of my singing. I felt so bad that I sang at whisper-volume for years. Then one day in high school my teacher made me sing a solo--and sing it LOUD--at one of our concerts. That gave me the courage to keep singing, and I've been doing it ever since! I think your song will encourage others to do the same. Thanks!
