MISS INDEPENDENT (Kelly Clarkson)

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

(Chorus:)
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 Independence?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love is true

Miss Guarded-Heart, Miss Play-it-Smart
Miss If-You-Want-to-Use-That-Line-You-Better-Not-Start (no)
But she miscalculated
She didn't want to 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

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge:)
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 fin'lly see

(Repeat chorus)
