[Verse 1: B. Casey]
I'ma just take these club like everybody else did (Oh-oh)
But see, my story's a little different (Oh)
Sometimes, life don't go how you planned it
But I roll with the punches like I'm "Money" May' (Yeah)
So I'ma let you do your thing (Bow)
I waste when we dig in the wings (Uh)
Said she wants space, it's nothing
If she want that, then I'll give (Oh, oh, oh)
I want her to go and take this bread
For all of these bills that I pay, she can get that
At the end of the day, have it your way

[Pre-Chorus: B. Casey]
Have it your way, independent lady
It be so late when you get lonely
Next time it's late, when the phone rings
I'ma laugh and sigh
I, I, I, I

[Chorus: B. Casey & Jagged Edge]
(Said) You so independent, lady, ooh (Ooh)
(Said) You so independent, lady, ayy (Ooh)
(Said) You so independent, lady
Call me up and pick it up
Call me up when you get lonely
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, girl (Ooh)
What's it gon' be, girl?
(Said) You so independent, lady (Ooh)
Call me up and pick it up
Call me up when you get lonely
[Verse 2: B. Casey & Jagged Edge]
As soon as you made up your mind (Oh-oh)
Had no respect for this here grind that I did, oh
You see a different girl in your mind that I do
Thought that everything would work, that ain't true, no (Oh)
I'm sick of this, so hit and miss, oh (Oh, oh)
What's a man to do? Try to just love you (Ooh)
Ooh, you try to get me to change, oh

[Pre-Chorus: B. Casey]
Have it your way, independent lady (Since you're so independent)
It be so late when you get lonely (Ooh, ooh)
Next time it's late, when the phone rings
I'ma laugh and sigh
I, I, I, I

[Chorus: B. Casey & Jagged Edge]
(Said) You so independent, lady (You're so independent, lady, ooh)
(Said) You so independent, lady (Ooh, ayy, oh)
(Said) You so independent, lady
Call me up and pick it up (Call me up, girl)
Call me up when you get lonely (Call me up, yeah)
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, girl (Oh, oh)
What's it gon' be, girl?
(Said) You so independent, lady (Oh, ooh)
Call me up and pick it up
Call me up when you get lonely (When you get lonely, yeah)
(Said) You so independent, lady (Call me, call me, call me up, ooh)
(Said) You so independent, lady (Ooh, oh)
(Said) You so independent, lady (Call me up, baby)
Call me up and pick it up (Call me up, baby)
Call me up when you get lonely (Call me up, yeah)
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, girl (Call me up, yeah)
What's it gon' be, girl?
(Said) You so independent, lady (Ooh)
Call me up and pick it up
