miss independent

Lyrics

miss independent, miss self-sufficient, miss keep-your-distance, miss unafraid, miss out-of-my-way, miss don't-let-a-man-interfere, no, miss on-her-own, miss almost-grown, miss never-let-a-man-help-her-off-her-throne, so, by keeping her heart protected, she'd never ever feel rejected, little miss apprehensive, said ooh, she fell in love, what is the feelin' takin' over?, thinkin' no one could open my door, surprise it's time, to feel what's real, what happened to miss independent?, no longer need to be defensive, goodbye, old you, when love is true, misguided heart, miss play-it-smart, miss if-you-want-to-use-that-line-you-better-not-start, no, but she miscalculated, she didn't want to end up jaded, and this miss decided not to miss out on true love, so, by changing her misconceptions, she went in a new direction, and found inside she felt a connection, she fell in love, what is the feelin' takin' over?, thinkin' no one could open my door, surprise it's time, to feel what's real, what happened to miss independent?, no longer need to be defensive, goodbye, old you, when love, when love is true, when miss independence walked away, no time for love that came her way, she looked in the mirror and thought today, what happened to miss no-longer-afraid?, it took some time for her to see, how beautiful love could truly be, no more talk of why can't that be me, i'm so glad i finally see, what is the feelin' takin' over?, thinkin' no one could open my door, surprise, it's time, to feel what's real, what happened to miss independent?, no longer need to be defensive, goodbye, old you, when love, when love is true, miss independent
