[Intro]
Take one, take...

[Verse 1]
Independence, you should try it
Yeah it might just do you good
If you work then you can buy it
In the end you wish you would
Have made your mama proud
Disconnected from the crowd
They always seem to go their own way anyways
My first love is independence
And the first one cuts the deepest
You can be whats been defeated
Oh, In every single way, no more lessons I can take
I always seem to go my own way anyways

[Pre-Chorus]
Sing it to me like
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Sing it to me like
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

[Chorus]
Baby, don't think you'll phase me
I'm gonna make it on my own
By now you shoulda known
That baby, I don't need no saving
I'm gonna make it on my own
By now you shoulda known
[Post-Chorus]
Hear me out, can't say it any clearer
I'm on my own and fighting like a warrior
Yeah hear me out, can't say it any clearer
I'm on my own, fighting like a warrior

[Verse 2]
When I found my independence
The ones I loved tried to jump on
To the magic I was making
They have to find it on their own
Oh how could they try to use me
Oh this isn't how they should be
Ain't got my best interested in mind
Like my independence died

[Pre-Chorus]
Sing it to me like
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Sing it to me like
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

[Chorus]
Baby, don't think you'll phase me
I'm gonna make it on my own
By now you shoulda known
That baby, I don't need no saving
I'm gonna make it on my own
By now you shoulda known
[Bridge]
With or without you, I'm gonna make it
Straight to the top now, no time to fake it
With or without you, I'm gonna make it
Straight to the top now, no time to fake it

[Outro]
Hear me out, can't say it any clearer
I'm on my own and fighting like a warrior
Yeah here me out, can't say it any clearer
I'm on my own, fighting like a warrior
Na na na na (x8)
