Erica Burke - Needless

It's not as if I spend my day just sitting by the phone,
And if you called I very well may pretend I wasn't home.
I know you think you have my heart just hanging by a string,
But you should know that my life is built on more important things.
And if you waived your hand at me at me as I was passing by,
I'd automatically lift my hand then pretend to swat a fly.
I know you think you are the best that this would has to give,
And if thats the case then hear me say, 'You have other worlds to live.'
I dont need you of anyone to make me feel complete,
So you should know right from the start that I bow at no mans feet.
And yet, If you are still desirious to entertain my mind,
My heart very well may follow, though it always walks a ways behind.
