Miss Independent
Miss self-sufficient
Miss, keep your distance, mmm
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 feel in love

What is this feeling taking over
Thinking no one could open her 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 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 this feeling taking over
Thinking no one could open her door (open her door)
Surprise, it's time (yeah)
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, is true
(When love is true)

When Miss Independent 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 this feeling taking over
Thinking no one could open her door (oh yeah)
Surprise (surprise), it's time (yeah)
To feel (to feel), what's real
What happened to Miss Independent
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye (goodbye), old you
When love, is true
(When love is true)
