Mister you should know
I don't care for your taste
And honey you should get your fingers
Off of my waist and
Them sweet words mean nothing to me
Cause I'm as independent as can be
And I'll run my own race
I'll wash my own face
I'll earn my own place
I will be my own saving grace
And I'll hold my own beer
I'll face my own fears
Wipe my own tears
Independence this is my year
I can do anything I can
And I don't need no I don't need no man
And please guys don't take offense
Just take it in
Some of the finest friends I have
Are gentlemen
People stare and we don't care
We dance we play
But they never cross the line
They're cool that way and
They know how to make a girl feel free
And I feel independent as can be
I'll run my own race
I'll wash my own face
I'll earn my own place
I will be my own saving grace
And I'll hold my own beer
I'll face my own fears
Wipe my own tears
Independence this is my year
I can do anything I can
And I don't need no I don't need no
Sweet independence
Is making me reckless
You leave me breathless
My sweet independence
Anything I can oh anything oh
I can do anything oh I
I can do anything
I can do anything oh
I can do anything I can
And I don't need no
No I don't need no
I don't need no
I don't need no man
