Sometimes people ask me why I don't have a girlfriend, or why I'm not dating, or why I don't seem to care that I don't have a girlfriend and am not dating. If someone asks a woman these things, the implication is 'you're not complete without a man.' So I wanted to write a song that is the other side of that.
I got the chorus straightaway, but didn't know how to get the verses in there. I asked pop-hook king Adam Rabin if he could help, and along with 'they say you need a verse to be complete,' he suggested that I just release it as is, because more verses would probably get in the way of an otherwise simple message.

lyrics
They say you need
They say you need a woman
They say you need
They say you need a woman
They say you need
They say you need a woman to be complete
They say you need
They say you need a woman
They say you need
They say you need a woman
They say you need
They say you need a woman to be complete
what do they know?
what do they know?
what do they know?
They say you need
They say you need a woman
They say you need
They say you need a woman
They say you need
They say you need a woman to be complete
to be complete
to be...
