I Don’t Need Your Love is sung by Catherine Parr in SIX: The Musical. The first part of the song refers to her love of Thomas Seymour, whom she probably wanted to marry rather than Henry (and did marry after Henry’s death). However, the song also protests at the fact that women are often defined by their relationship with men, rather than as people in their own right. Catherine wants to be remembered for what she did, rather than the men she married or loved.

Our conversations are sprinkled with slips, pauses, lies, and clues to our inner world. Here’s what we reveal when we speak, whether we mean to or not.

Your man wants to have sex more often than you do, or you’ve lost interest altogether and he’s stopped trying to initiate.
You might worry that he'll launch an affair, see sex workers, or leave you. But maybe you can’t imagine that your mate would ever do anything that horrible. Sex isn’t so important to you, why should it be important to him?
I’m middle-aged, and I dated for a decade before I met my current partner. I can’t tell you how many times a divorced man confided that his ex assumed he’d put up with no sex indefinitely. The way he tells it, she always seems to be surprised when the marriage unravels. I say, “Wasn’t the lack of sex a clue?” He shrugs. Couples avoid hard conversations and pretend.
Maybe you're thinking that you're safe because he’s stayed with you so far. That may be true, but I heard the phrase “10 years” with a loud sigh more than once.
Typically, the guys can't believe they lasted that long and are thrilled to be out having sex.
Why aren't you in the mood more often? Maybe you’re not feeling sexy. Maybe your body has changed since you had kids, or you’ve gained weight or lost muscle tone. You may be making self-disparaging comments, hoping he’ll get the clue and romance you. I suggest you accept his cluelessness and be direct. Tell him you don’t feel sexy and ask him to act more like he did when you first met.
Maybe you’re focused on being a perfect mom and beating yourself up for every mistake. Ask yourself whether maintaining a good marriage is good for your kids. You may be overly focused on them and they will feel estrangement between their parents, even if it’s subtle.
Maybe you’re tired or overwhelmed. Again, direct, specific communication could be a godsend. Ask him to take the kids out for a day, run some errands for you, or clean. Ask for a massage, or dinner out. You may need more exercise or time to practice meditation . Your low libido can send you important messages.
There's a chance that you may be depressed . Open up to friends and family, try a self-help book, or see a professional. You owe it to yourself and your partner to stay healthy and happy enough to engage.
Maybe your libido has plummeted, even though you’re otherwise content and satisfied with your relationship. In one study, more than a quarter of pre- menopausal women and more than half of menopausal women reported low desire. You could experiment with diet and exercise to strengthen your vaginal muscles.
Maybe he’s blaming menopause and you think the problem is him. There’s no point in arguing. In real life, most situations have more than one cause and our intuition isn’t infallible. My personal solution is to try to do something on all fronts. In the end, you want intimacy , not certainty or the satisfaction of being right.
You can say, yes, menopause and…. and then address the relationship issues without the drama of assigning blame. Maybe you’ve grown apart. You want to be heard, known, appreciated—and you want to know more about his inner life. Tell him, and set aside time to really talk. Make sure he’s turned off all the electronics. If he’s still trying to initiate sex, next time say something like, “I need to feel closer to you,” so he sees the connection between talking and sex. Tell him you want tenderness. Don’t assume that what’s obvious to you is obvious to him—he may be feeling the same disconnection but for him, sex feels like the solution.
Maybe the sex was never that great or got routine. Again, be direct and initiate changes. Experiment and tell him what you like best. Go on vacation and try some new moves—then keep them up when you get home.
If he’s become unattractive to you, you may be angry or disappointed in him for other reasons. Maybe you’ve lost respect for him because he’s made poor decisions, neglected the finances, isn't taking care of his health, or can’t handle problems at his job or with the family. Face up to your judgments. Keeping him away physically when you’re angry and disappointed is a loud criticism. Are you unconsciously hoping that your judgment will make him change? Don’t count on it.
Your rejection will most likely make him retreat, lose confidence , or go elsewhere. If you can, forgive him, accept that he has weaknesses, choose to love him anyway—and seek what you most want in life and with your partner. This isn’t an either/or. You can embrace him and at the same time refuse to compromise on essentials.
You may need to drop some hopes. Then see what you can do to tackle key problems directly. Be specific and don’t attempt too much at one time. Your sex life could flower again if you feel like a team.
In the end, your relationship may not be one you want to keep forever. People seem to stay in sexless but otherwise reasonable marriages until the kids are older, say, or their finances improve. Based on my experience in the dating world, I urge women to work toward self-reliance. Men have told me too many stories of unrealistic money battles after a sexless era. I hear of wealthy women demanding that men who live on a shoe-string pay alimony for life. I hear of women so angry they refused to sell the house and allowed the bank to foreclose.
Clean up your finances; make sure your work and social life will sustain you. Don’t let yourself be stunned and outraged should your husband stray or leave. He will have his own time-table, however slow.

Six the Musical Wiki is a FANDOM Music Community.
The song begins with Catherine writing a letter to her love, Thomas Seymour , ending their relationship, as Henry VIII has decided that he wishes to marry her. Catherine laments about how she is forced to marry Henry, as to refuse a proposal from the king was dangerous and unheard of at the time. She explains how if she had a choice, she would tell Henry off, saying that she doesn't need his love. Catherine then closes off the letter, stating "This is goodbye, all my love, Catherine". She mentions how she sent the letter to Thomas, married Henry, and became "the one who survived" due to outliving him.

However, Catherine then questions why she should have to sing about her life with Henry when she has completed many amazing accomplishments of her own, such as becoming a writer and fighting for female education. She says that she is unable to tell her own story because in history, she is just one of six women that the king decided to marry, and that without Henry they would never have been remembered at all.

Following that, the other queens join in, with Katherine Howard singing that they're "taking back the microphone", meaning that it's their turn to tell their stories. The song concludes with the queens telling Henry that they don't need his love and that they are in control of their narrative from now on.

[CATHERINE PARR]
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
'Cause 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
'Cause I am not your toy to enjoy
'Til there's something new
As if I'm gonna give up my boy, my work, my dreams
To care for you
Ha! Darling, get a clue
There's nothing you can do

I don't need your love, no, no
No, I don't need your 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 can independently
Study scripture
I even got a woman to paint my picture
Why can't I tell th
