I Am Someone without a Man

I Am Someone without a Man

I don’t need a man
To set me apart
Or to tell me I’m special
And that’s just a start

I don’t need a man
To confirm I am dear
Or his hand to hold onto
For my worth to appear

I don’t need a man
To prove I have appeal
Nor a diamond ring
To seal the deal

I don’t need a man
For the world to see
That I’m irreplaceable
And as precious as can be
