Christina Aguilera co-wrote this song to be on her album Stripped but it
was given to Kelly Clarkson for her debut album instead.
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 oooh, she fell in love
What is this 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
Misguided heart
Miss Play-it-smart
Miss If-ya-wanna-use-that-line-ya-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 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
Ooh, Miss Independent walked away
No time for a 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 truley be
No more talk of Why can`t that be me?
I`m so glad I finally see...
What is this feelin` takin` over?
Thinkin` no one could open my door
Surprise (Suprise), 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, when love is true
Miss Independent
