Independent Women Part II
Destiny's Child Lyrics

What you think about a girl like me
How do you view women who are independent?

Buy my own car and spend my own money
I am capable of buying things for myself and don't need a man to support me financially.

Only ring your celly when I'm feeling lonely
I only call you when I need someone to talk to, not because I need you to take care of me.

When it's all over please get up and leave
I don't want any emotional attachments and I'm not interested in a committed relationship.

Please don't call me baby Cause I'll call you Don't mean to hurt you feelings Got a lot to do Cause I'm am my number one priority No falling in love, no commitment from me
I don't want you to call me pet names and I'll be the one to initiate any contact. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I have a lot of things I want to accomplish and I'm not interested in falling in love or being committed to anyone else right now.

If you feel it Throw them hands up Where them hands at If you feel it Where the ladies Where my home girls Where my females Where all my women
If you understand and relate to what I'm saying, show your enthusiasm! Shout it out and show support for all the women listening to this message.

How you feel about a girl like this Try to control me, boy you'll get dismissed Do what I want, live how I wanna live Buy my own diamonds then I pay my own bills
What's your opinion on women who won't let men control them? I make my own decisions and live my life on my own terms. I take care of myself and don't need anyone else to provide for me.

How did you feel about this groove I wrote Hope you got the message ladies take control Don't depend on no man to give you what you want Keep that in mind next time you hear this song
What did you think of this song? I hope the message comes across loud and clear that women should take control of their own lives and not rely on men to fulfill their wants and needs.

If you're independent I congratulate you If you ain't in love I congratulate you Do them boys like They used to do you If you pimp him I congratulate you
If you're a woman who is independent and not in love or in a committed relationship, I recognize and applaud you. You should date and do whatever you want without feeling pressure from anyone else. If you're able to manipulate or control a man, I congratulate you on your skills.

If I hurt your feelings boy I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you yeah I thought you knew yeah I got no time to fall in love with you yeah
If I've hurt your feelings, I apologize but I didn't mean to. I assumed you understood from the start that I'm not looking for a romantic relationship, so I don't have the time or desire to fall in love with you.

All my independent women Throw them hands up at me And all my sexy women Throw them hands up at me All my money making women Throw them hands up at me All my baller women Throw them hands up at me
All my women who are strong, independent, and successful, show your pride by throwing your hands up! This song is for all of you, whether you work hard for your money or you're living the high life.
