Let's go
나는 남자 없이 잘 살아
그러니 자신이 없으면 내 곁에 오지를 마
나는 함부로 날 안 팔아
왜냐면 난
I don't need a man I don't need a man (What?)
I don't need a man I don't need a man (정말)
I don't need a man I don't need a man
나는 남자 없이 잘 잘 살아
내 돈으로 방세 다 내
먹고 싶은 거 사 먹고 옷도 사 입고
충분하진 않지만 만족할 줄 알아
그래서 난 나를 사랑해 (hey)
부모님의 용돈 내 돈처럼
쓰고 싶지 않아 나이가 많아
손 벌리지 않는 게 당연한 거 아냐
그래서 난 내가 떳떳해 (hey)
Boy don't say
내가 챙겨줄게 내가 아껴줄게 No No
Boy don't play
진지하게 올 게 아니면
잘난 체는 안돼 딴 데서는
통할지 몰라도 너만큼 나도
잘나진 않았지만 자신감은 넘쳐
그래서 난 나를 사랑해 (hey)
내 힘으로 살게 딴 애처럼
부모님 잘 만나 남자 잘 만나
편하게 사는 거 관심이 없어
그래서 난 내가 떳떳해 (hey)
Boy don't say
내가 너의 미래 나를 믿고 기대 No No
Boy don't play
나를 존중할 게 아니면
매일 아침 일찍 일어나서
하루 종일 바빠서
밥 한 끼 제대로 못 먹어
하지만 내가 좋아서 한 일이야 돈이야 작지만 다 내 땀이야
남자 친구가 사 준 반지 아니야
내 차 내 옷 내가 벌어서 산 거야
적금 넣고 부모님 용돈 드리고 나서 산 거야
남자 믿고 놀다 남자 떠나면 어떡할 거야
이런 내가 부러워?
부러우면 진 거야

The ring I wear isn't from a boyfriend
내 차 내 옷 내가 벌어서 산 거야
I bought my own car and clothes with my own money
적금 넣고 부모님 용돈 드리고 나서 산 거야
I saved money and gave allowance to my parents before buying them
남자 믿고 놀다 남자 떠나면 어떡할 거야
What will you do if you trust and have fun with a guy but he leaves?
이런 내가 부러워?
Are you jealous of someone like me?
부러우면 진 거야
If you are, that's the real deal

You can be single with this song, have a boyfriend or even a husband. Its just about keeping your independence and not relying on a man for things. Make your own way. Break the stereotype that women need men to survive.
@fanofgodjimindiva2497
What a joke. As if women could survive without men. Yeah women dont need men..until the lights go out, the drains get plugged or they're in a physical situation they cannot control, then they assume that a man will step up and help them. Men provide in every facet of women's lives. Every building they work in, vehicle they drive, roads, water, sewers, security, food. Everything is provided by a man. even when you divorce/screw a man, you need help from other men with guns to extract his resources or put him in prison. So much for "strong and independent"

@ssr8555
@@fanofgodjimindiva2497 every job you just listed has women working in them. They just happened to be more male-focused jobs, mostly because for the longest time, women weren't even allowed to study or go to school to be able to work. So society has made it seem like it'd be "weird" if women worked in those areas. Doesn't mean women can't. My aunt happens to be a constructor. Women can too provide us with food. They can grow vegetables, wheat and work at farms. And are you trying to tell me you have never ever seen or heard of female police officers?
It's all just about attitude. Yes, there are women who depend on men WAAAAY to much. But there are plenty of women who don't want to depend on someone and do stuff themselves.

Ur a joke dumb@$$ lolz 😝

This song doesn’t say “I hate men” this song says “I don’t need a man to rely on since I’m myself and can make my own money”

@border_line.
Yes! Thats what feminism is. It’s not “men are horrible” or “women > men” its “women = men” and that u dont need to depend on a man, but not that men themselves are bad
@kotarobokuto9444
yes! feminism is equality, not “i hate men”.
