Miss Independent
Kelly Clarkson Lyrics

Miss independent
A woman who is strong and self-sufficient

Miss self-sufficient
A woman who takes care of herself and does not rely on others

Miss keep your distance
A woman who is cautious and guarded when it comes to relationships

Miss unafraid
A woman who is not afraid to be independent and stand on her own

Miss out of my way
A woman who is focused on achieving her goals and does not let anything get in her way

Miss don't let a man interfere, no
A woman who does not want a man to come between her and her dreams

Miss on her own
A woman who does not rely on anyone else and is capable of taking care of herself

Miss almost grown
A woman who is mature and responsible

Miss never let a man help her off her throne
A woman who is determined to maintain her independence and not let anyone else take control

So, by keeping her heart protected
In order to avoid getting hurt, she keeps her heart guarded

She'd never ever feel rejected
She avoids rejection by not putting herself in vulnerable situations

Little miss apprehensive
A woman who is hesitant and cautious

Said ooh, she fell in love
Despite her reservations, she fell in love

What is the feelin' takin' over?
She is surprised by the overwhelming feeling of love that she is experiencing

Thinkin' no one could open my door
She believed that she was unbreakable and that no one could ever truly reach her

Surprise, It's time
She is realizing that it is time to be vulnerable and open up to love

To feel what's real
She wants to experience real love and is ready to put herself out there

No more the need to be defensive
She no longer feels the need to be guarded and defensive

Goodbye, old you
She is saying goodbye to her old ways and embracing a new path

When love is true
Love is powerful and can change a person's outlook on life

Miss guarded heart
A woman who had previously kept her heart protected

Miss play it smart
A woman who was careful and logical when it came to love

Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
A woman who was not interested in anyone who used cheesy pick-up lines

But she miscalculated
Despite her best efforts, she misjudged what love could truly mean for her

She didn't want to end up jaded
She did not want to become bitter and disillusioned with love

And this miss decided not to miss out on true love
She decided that she did not want to miss out on the opportunity to experience true love

So, by changing her misconceptions
She realized that her previous beliefs about love were flawed and decided to change them

She went in a new direction
She changed her approach to love and relationships

And found inside she felt a connection
She discovered that love can create a deep and meaningful connection between two people

When Miss Independence walked away
She let go of her old ways and embraced a new path

No time for love that came her way
She was too focused on her own goals to pay attention to any potential romantic interests

She looked in the mirror and thought today
She reflected on her past and decided to make a change

What happened to miss no longer afraid?
She is surprised at how much she has changed and grown

It took some time for her to see
It was a process for her to realize the true nature of love

How beautiful love could truly be
She finally sees the true beauty in love and relationships

No more talk of why can't that be me
She is no longer envious of others who are in loving relationships, because she is now experiencing love herself

I'm so glad I finally see
She is grateful for the new perspective and for the love that she is now experiencing
