I don’t need love anymore
I don’t need love anymore
I don’t need anyone to tell me that I do
I don’t need love and I don’t need you
I try and I try to make it work
I try and I try to make it work
I try and I try again, I won’t forget, I know
Love gets you nowhere slow1
I want no more heartaches
No more good-byes
Ain’t no more real good love
Only new love
But old love dies
Ain’t worth the time that it takes
Ain’t worth the time that it takes
Ain’t worth the endless hours of changes I go through
I don’t need love and I don’t need you
I don’t need love anymore
I don’t need love anymore
I don’t need anyone to tell me that I do
I don’t need love and I don’t need you
Words and music by Brent Mydland
A nice reversal of the cliché “going nowhere fast.”
No studio recording.
First performance: March 28, 1984, at the Marin County Veterans Auditorium in San Rafael, California. Garcia and Lesh did not stay onstage for the performance. It dropped out of rotation in 1986, after sixteen performances.
