Song 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 the 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


Miss Guarded Heart

Miss Play-It-Smart

Miss If-You-Wanna-Use-That-Line-You-Better-Not-Start, no


But she miscalculated

She didn't wanna 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 the door (open the door)

Surprise it's time

To feel what's real, what's real

What happened to Miss Independent?

No longer need to be defensive

Goodbye (goodbye), old you (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 the door

Surprise (surprise), it's time

To feel (to feel) what's real

What happened to Miss Independent?

No longer need to be defensive

Goodbye (goodbye), old you

When love, when love is true


Miss Independent
