[Verse 1]

When you came out of the blue felt that I needed attention
Picked me up when I was down showed me love and affection
You can’t play me baby
No you won’t play me baby

From a mile away I could read your intentions
And I gave you a chance but maybe forgot to mention
You can’t play me baby
No you won’t play me baby

[Pre-Chorus]

When I say that I mean it, I’m not backing down
Don’t call me, don’t text me
I won’t be around
Don’t get it twisted I’m perfectly fine on my own, woo

[Chorus]

I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
Independent woman
Independent woman

I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want

Independent woman

I got my own (my own, my own, my own)
I got my own (my own, my own, my own)
I got my own yeah (my own, my own, my own)
I got my own

[Verse 2]

You come around flashing money and rings
As if I was the type of girl who would fall for them things
But you can’t play me baby
No you won’t play me baby

Check mate, you messed with the King
And like a guitar missing its’ strings
No you can’t play me baby
No you can’t play me baby
[Pre-Chorus]

When I say that I mean it, I’m not backing down
Don’t call me, don’t text me
I won’t be around
Don’t get it twisted I’m perfectly fine on my own

[Chorus]

I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want

Independent woman
Independent woman

I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
Independent woman

[Bridge]

I got my own (my own, my own, my own)
I got my own (my own, my own, my own)
I got my own (my own, my own, my own)
I got my own (my own, my own, my own)

If you don’t know, yeah (my own, my own, my own)
I got my, I got my, I got my
Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Chorus]

I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want (I’mma do what I want and I mean it)
I’m an independent woman (I don’t need you around telling me sh**)
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want

Independent woman
Independent woman

I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want
I’m an independent woman
I’mma do what I want

Independent woman
I got my own (my own, my own, my own)
