Independent woman don't need a child
Independent woman she's running wild
Independent woman she ain't too kind
Independent woman her mouth she can't hide, oh

Independent woman she watches time
Independent woman no mountain she can't climb
Independent woman she's also mean
Independent woman like you've never seen, oh

Never should've been left alone
Now it's too late to wander home
Packed her bags and now she's gone
Independent woman will make her own

Independent woman counts love that's gone
Independent woman makes all her own
Independent woman could make a man
Independent woman run as fast as he can, oh

Never should've been left alone
It's too late to wander home
Packed her bags and now she's gone
Independent woman will make her own

Oh, independent woman, well, she's just fine
Independent woman take apart your mind
Independent woman oh, she can cry
Independent woman, just don't ask why

Independent woman don't need a man
Independent woman can't hold her hand
Independent woman will strut and glide
Independent woman now watch her slide
Now watch her slide
Now watch her slide
