(Brewster-Eccles-Morley-Spencer)
Search high, feel low
Get by, bad blow
Raw stand, bad feel
Find the man, steal the deal
Time out, look good
Eyes peeled, understood
Stand back, beware
Side to side you look and stare
I don't need a lover
Standing on my own
I don't need you
I don't need you baby
Don't try to turn me 'round
I don't need you baby
Why'are never gonna bring me down
Bad blood, bad news
Sold out, sold you
Speed ball, good hit
Flyin' high, for me that's it
I don't need a lover
Standing on my own

I don't need you baby
Don't try to turn me 'round

The lyrics to The Angels' "Don't Need You" convey a sense of independence and perseverance in the face of adversity. The verses describe searching for a way forward, trying to overcome setbacks and obstacles, and being wary of those who might try to bring you down. The chorus is an emphatic declaration of not needing anyone else to make it through life.
The repeated phrase "I don't need you" is a powerful statement of self-reliance, but it also implies a certain resilience and defiance. Rather than simply saying "I don't want you," the song suggests that the singer has been through enough challenges that they have learned to stand on their own two feet. This is underscored by the repeated use of words like "raw stand," "bad feel," and "bad blood," which convey a sense of struggle and hardship.
Overall, "Don't Need You" is a song about self-determination and self-sufficiency, with a gritty and determined sound that perfectly matches its lyrics.
