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 

What is this feelin' takin' over? 
Thinkin' no one could open my 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 

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. 

What is this feelin' takin' over? 
Thinkin' no one could open my door (open my door) 
Surprise...It's time (yeah) 
To feel what's real 
What happened to Miss Independent? 
No longer need to be defensive 
Goodbye (goodbye), old you (oh you) 
When love, when love is true 

When Miss Independent 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 finally see... 

What is this feelin' takin' over? 
Thinkin' no one could open my door 
Surprise (surprise), 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...
