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 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 more to need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, when love is true

Misguided 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 mis-conceptions
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
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more to need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, 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 feel

What is this feelin' takin' over?
(Over)
Thinkin' no one could open my door
(Oh yeah)
Surprise, it's time to feel what's real
(Surprise, it's time to feel)
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more to need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you, when love is true
(Goodbye, old you)
