Story Behind The Song
I initially wrote this from the eyes of Monica Lewinsky. I have now put it out as a Whitney Houston - like song, singing about Bobby Brown.
Song Description
She is trying to talk herself into not needing him. It doesn't quite work, because the ending of the song is more of a longing for him.

Lyrics
Not long ago, I met another.
He loved me so, at least he told me that he did. I didn't know that his whole world was just a show - Only fantasy of heart - Still I didn't want to part for I was so afraid that he would leave me. I was so afraid that he would leave me at the door. I clung to him because I needed so much more, but he really didn't care -I just happened to be there
And I don't need him in my life. I don't want him in my life. I won't have him by my side - not ever.
I don't need him in my life. I don't want him in my life, I won't have him for the rest of my life.
I didn't know that he had others. I didn't know that he was using me for fun until my life - until my life came tumbling down. And he was nowhere to be seen - just an actor on a screen and I didn't think I could survive this. No, I didn't think that I could live without his love.
But somehow - somehow I found the missing glove! And now I have the strength inside to live with truth - not his lies!
And I don't need him in my life. I don't want him in my life. I won't have him by my side - not ever.
I don't need him in my life. I don't want him in my life. I won't have him for the rest of my life . . . my life.
