Lyrics
Independent Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Used to call me baby, it always felt so right
Little girls can grow up faster than the speed of light
I'm another lady under this disguise
Sophisticated woman standing right before your eyes
More than anything in the whole world
Just hear me out
I want to be an independent girl
Without a doubt
I hope you understand me breaking all the rules
And I just know much more to life than little girls can chose
I don't have every answer to the problems of the world
And I can't help to solve them if I'm just a little girl
More than anything in the whole world
Without a doubt
I want to be an independent girl
I'm stepping out
Want to move through the days like a gentle breeze
While I'm feeling so free
I'm going to get what I want independently
Come and go as I please
More than anything in the whole world
I want to be an independent girl
Want to move through the days like a gentle breeze
While I'm feeling so free
I'm going to get what I want independently
Come and go as I please
You know I can't wait any longer
I'm stepping out
Yeah and I'm feeling much stronger
Without a doubt
More than anything in the whole world
Just hear me out
I want to be an independent girl
I'm stepping out
More than anything in the whole world
Without a doubt
I want to be an independent girl
