Lyrics:
You know I love you, boy
In every single way
Though I love you, boy
I'll miss you every day
Oh I love you, boy
I wish that I could stay with you
And keep the life I made with you
And even though this feels so right
I'm holding back the tears tonight

It's true I'll never be over you
Cos I have built a future in my mind with you
And now the hope is gone
There's nothing left for me to do

You know it isn't true
But I must say to you
That I don't need your love, no, no
I don't need your love, no, no
It'll never be better than it was, no, no
But I don't need your love, no, no

I've got no choice
With the King I stay alive
Never had a choice
Been a wife twice before, just to survive
I don't have a choice
If Henry says ""It's you"", then it's you
No matter how I feel
It's what I have to do
But if, somehow, I had that choice
No holding back, I'd raise my voice

I'd say
Henry, yeah it's true
I'll never belong to you
'Cos I am not your toy, to enjoy till there's something new
As if I'm gonna give up my boy, my work, my dreams
To care for you

Darling, get a clue
There's nothing you can do
I don't need your love, no, no
No, I don't need you love, no, no
There's nothing left to discuss, no, no
But I don't need your love, no, no

But I can't say that
Not to the king
So this is goodbye
All my love
Catherine

So I sent that letter to my love
Got married to the king
Became the one who survived
I've told you about my life
The final wife
But why should that story
Be the one I have to sing about
Just to win? I'm out
That's not my story
There's so much more

Remember that I was a writer
I wrote books and psalms and meditations
Fought for female education
So all my women could independently
Study scripture
I even got a woman to paint my picture
Why can't I tell that story?
Cos in history
I'm fixed as one of six
And without him
I disappear
We all disappear

So we had no choice
But now it's us alone
So we've got no choice
No, we've got no choice
We're taking back the microphone
I'm gonna raise my voice
They always said:
""We need your love""
But it's time for us to rise above

It's not what went down in history
But tonight I'm singing this for me

Henry, yeah, I'm through
Too many times it's been told
And I have had enough (I have had enough)
Love stories to get old
And you might think it's tough
But I've got to let your love run cold
We're taking back control (we're taking back control)
You need to know

I don't need your love, no, no
No, I don't need your love, no, no
Can't let it get the better of us, no, no
I don't need your love, no, no

I don't need your love, no, no
No, I don't need your love, no, no
I don't need your love, no, no
I don't need your love

We don't need your love

Listen to the Studio Cast Recording now:

[alexiswelsh]

I love the play on words, "History" and "His story".

[vivilikesfres]

*bro i cannot believe how underrated this song is.*

[reasyrandom]

The fact that Parr isn't even allowed to finish her own song is a pretty good metaphor for being just seen as "the sixth wife", she still owes most of her attention to Henry, despite her accomplishments.

It's very bittersweet.

[TheRealJaneSeymour]

She has a great voice, probably my favorite.

[LisaRowse]

Do you know what is great about this song? I just broke up with a Henry and this song is wonderful, as I don't need his love anymore.

[bellapompom]

this song is so unfairly underrated compared to some of the others

[Cure_Hana]

This song is female empowerment done right. It’s not about being dominant over men; it’s about having the strength to endure what life throws at you.

[Scared-of-styrofoam]

This musical is so amazing! Every song has such a GOOD message!! Especially this one!! You don't need no man. And hey that's the strongest thing you could possibly do. Break up with your abuser. Get down is great for this too! You know, rejecting her ex. And friggen All You Wanna Do pointing out sexual assult with women in particular(not that men don't get assaulted. It's terrible yall.) And not to mention how beautiful the other songs are!!! Ahhh!!!

[mariamcandrews]

The beginning of the song is so beautiful it makes me wanna cry. You can really hear her heartbreak when she’s saying goodbye to her love.

[byebyecat]

This song in parallel is a very sad because at minute 4:01
Parr did not disappear from history, his DAUGHTER (Mary Seymour) was the one who had to suffer the cruel fate of disappearing.😢

[TheBriBoat]

I listened to this musical when I was going through a breakup and today my sister told me she listened to it and I listened to it again. This final song is just a core memory of me trying to convince myself I didn’t need his love but now, 3 years later, I can say with the utmost confidence I don’t need his love at all💖 I love me so much

[AlashiaTuol]

The sad thing is that her love, Thomas Seymour - Jane Seymour's brother- was a creep who only married her after Henry's death for social mobility. After Henry died, Catherine wasn't his first choice of a wife, despite her loving him for years - his first choice was Lady and future Queen Elizabeth, who was then only thirteen, while he was 39. Elizabeth turned him down, so he settled for Catherine. When Elizabeth came to live with the couple during her brothers reign, Seymour continued to "flirt"/harrass the child, possibly crossing into SA, forcing Catherine to send Elizabeth away. Catherine died after giving birth to the couple's only child, allegedly claiming to those in attendance that her husband didn't love her and had poisoned her (which makes her part in the rhyme, "survived, " quite ironic).
Seymour was soon arrested on unrelated charges - sneaking into the king's (his _nephew's!)_ quarters in the palace with a loaded gun - and charged and executed with treason. Lady Elizabeth was taken in for weeks of interrogation, as the council was sure she was involved. The Crown seized the Seymour family's property, leaving Catherine's now-orphaned daughter propertyless. The child died two years later.

[phoenixfoster-smith]

Chills at “If it’s you, then it’s you” i swear

[awwoooga]

Every single one of my friends hate this song and I’m just over here petting it like “ ssshh shh it’s ok I love you”

[Chichi]

This song criminally underrated

That B5 was insane mind blow

[DakotaDrama]

3 years later im still vibing, its such a shame Parr hides in the other queens and shadows but the whole cast is so great

[lydialiljeros]

this is such an underrated song honestly

[quessianafilo]

[johnnieking]

You can see how much happier she gets throughout the song

[SunxyOrMoonxila]

5:06 I'm only to think it would be awesome if the six actresses sing with Little Mix ?
