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
