She Got Her Own Thing
Ne-Yo Lyrics

A dedication to the independent woman
This song is for all the women who are independent and can take care of themselves.

To the one working hard for hers
This song is for the hardworking women who are working hard to support themselves and their dreams.

That is just my way to let you know, I see you, baby
This song is a way to acknowledge and appreciate all the hard work and dedication put in by independent women.

And I brought a friend along
I have invited my friend to help me appreciate and show admiration for independent women.

To help me show my appreciation the right way
My friend and I wanted to show appreciation and admiration for independent women in our own way.

Ladies, Mr. Jamie Foxx, Mr. Foxx, ladies
Ladies, please welcome Jamie Foxx who will be joining me in appreciating independent women.

I love her 'cause she got her own
I love the woman because she is independent and does not rely on me for her needs.

She don't need mine, so she leave mine alone
She does not need any of my help and is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.

There ain't nothin' that's more sexy
There is nothing more attractive and appealing than an independent woman who knows what she wants.

Than a girl that want, but don't need me
I find it attractive when a woman is interested in me but doesn't need me to take care of her.

Young independent, yeah, she work hard
The woman is young, independent, and works hard to support herself.

But you can tell from the way that she walk
You can tell by her confidence and the way she carries herself that she is independent and capable.

She don't slow down 'cause she ain't got time
The woman doesn't slow down because she is busy and doesn't have time to waste.

To be complaining, shawty gon' shine
She doesn't complain and will continue to shine and succeed in her own way.

She don't expect nothin' from no guy
She doesn't expect anything from any guy or rely on anyone to take care of her.

She plays aggressive, but she's still shy
She comes across as aggressive, but she can still be shy at times.

But you never know her softer side
You can't judge her based on her external appearance and characteristics, but rather by getting to know her personally.

By lookin' in her eyes
By truly looking into her eyes, you can see the softer side she may not openly express.

Knowing she can do for herself
Knowing that she is independent and can take care of herself is reassuring and attractive to me.

Makes me wanna give her my world
Knowing that she is independent and capable makes me want to give her love and support.

Only kinda girl I want
The only type of woman I am interested in is an independent woman.

Independent queen workin' for her throne
She is an independent queen working hard to achieve and claim her rightful place on the throne.

Lovely face, nice thick thighs
She has beautiful facial features and thick thighs that I find attractive.

Plus she got drive that matches my drive
She has the same level of ambition and drive as me, which makes us a good match.

Sexy thing, she's mcfly
She's a beautiful and attractive woman that I find very appealing.

All the while payin' the bills on time
She is capable of taking care of herself and is responsible for paying her own bills on time.

She don't look at me like captain save 'em
She doesn't depend on me like a hero or someone to save her.

Gold diggin', no, she don't do that
She doesn't use me just for my wealth or money, she is independent and works hard for her own success.

Now she lookin' me like inspiration
She looks at me as an inspiration rather than someone to depend on.

She wanna be complimentin' my swag
She wants to compliment and support me in the same way that I love and support her.

And everythin' she got, she work for it, good life made for it
She has worked hard for everything she has and enjoys a good life that she has earned.

She take pride in sayin' that she paid for it
She takes pride in saying that she has paid for everything she has and has earned it through hard work and dedication.

Don't make me laugh, boo, never did that bad, too
Don't make me laugh, I have never done that bad either.

Make you even have to but even if I had to
I don't need to make you do anything, but even if I had to, I would be more than happy to support her.

Ask my better half to, you be more than glad to
If I asked my partner to help support her, I know that they would be happy to do so.

When I do that math, boo, you always try to add two
When I calculate things, you always try to get more than what is expected or needed.

I need someone who'd ride for me
I need a partner who would support and ride with me through any situation or challenge.

Not someone who'd ride for free
I am not looking for someone who would just go along with anything without questioning or having their own thoughts and opinions.

She said, boy, I don't just ride
She replied to my statement, saying that she wouldn't just ride or go along with anything without questioning or having her own thoughts and opinions.

She'll pull up beside of me
Instead, she will stand beside me and support me as an equal partner.

I had to ask her what she doin' in that caddy
I was confused and asked her what she was doing in the Cadillac car.

She said, 'cause you my baby
She replied, saying that it's because I am her partner and she wants to be with me.

I'd be stuntin' like my daddy
She would be showing off and looking good, just like how her father did.

And there's not many, who catch my eye
She is selective and not many people catch her eye or interest.

We both wearing Gucci, she match my fly
We are both wearing designer brand Gucci and she matches my fashion style.

And that's why, I suppose to keep her closer
This is why I want to keep her close to me and support her in her endeavors.

Right by the side, toast and to host her
I want to be by her side, celebrate and support her.

And that she went low so, case you didn't know so
And she proved to be capable and independent without me, just in case you didn't know.

You can save your money, dawg, shawty getting dough so
You don't have to worry about spending your money on her, she has her own and is capable of earning and supporting herself.

What she care with his cars, you can call her Miss. Boss
She doesn't need my cars or material possessions, she is a boss and can take care of herself.

I got it backwards, criss cross, shawty got her own
I had it backwards, she doesn't need me, she can take care of herself and has her own.

Now all my ladies that don't need a man for nothing
Now shout out to all the independent women who don't need a man for anything.

Except some of that good lovin'
Except for some love and intimacy.

Let me hear you say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ladies, make some noise and show your independence with a little 'ooh'.

Now my fellas know you need to stop the frontin'
Fellas, you need to stop pretending and get with the program.

If you lovin' independent woman
If you love and appreciate independent women,

Let me hear you say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Show your support and appreciation with a little 'ooh'.

I love her' cause she got her own
I love her because she is independent and self-sufficient.

Got her own
She has her own abilities, skills, and resources to take care of herself.

Hey, I love her 'cause she got her own
I really appreciate and love her because she is independent and doesn't rely on me for everything.

I love it when she say
I really love when she says

It's cool, I got it, I got it, I got it
It's cool, I don't need your help, I can do it on my own.

Ohh, she sayin'
Ohh, she is saying

She got it, I got it, I got it
She has it, and she can handle it herself.
