bottom line
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


I know it looks like I'm waiting for you, but I'm not
Standing here thinking of all of the luck that I've got
Without you the flowers will blossom, the blossoms will fall
Maybe I need you for one little thing, but that's all

Baby, I don't need you
and that's the bottom line
Without you the bells are going to ring,
the sun's still going to shine
Woke up this morning
I been wasting all my time
Baby, I don't need you
and that's the bottom line

I know you think that I love you, but maybe I don't
So many things I could teach you, but baby I won't
You and the boys of the summer can count your good times
But I've got the wealth of a ripe and a curious mind

Baby, I don't need you
and that's the bottom line
Without you the bells are going to ring,
the sun's still going to shine
Woke up this morning
I been wasting all my time
Baby, I don't need you
and that's the bottom line
