Independence

Don't be surprised by the way that I am

By the way that I feel and I act

There's too many rules, I really can't choose

I can't let those chains hold me back

I've never known what it's like on my own

But I'm takin' a chance anyway

It may not be right like some moves in the night

But I've got to do it my way

I want my independence

I want my freedom right now

I want my independence (independence)

I want my freedom right now

So what you're sayin' don't matter to me

I'm makin' my plans all alone

But I've got the right to express my emotions

Have some space of my own

Don't be confused, please don't misunderstand

I can't respect your wishes more

This time I must say I want it my way

I'm walkin' out the door

I want my independence (independence) ooh

I want my freedom (freedom) right now

I want my independence (independence)

I want my freedom, my freedom now

This time I walk away (this time)

This time I'm on my own

This time I walk away (this time)

This time I'm on my own

Don't be confused, please don't misunderstand

I can't respect your wishes more

And this time I must say I want it my way

I'm walkin' through the door

I want my independence (independence)

I want my freedom (freedom) right now yeah

I want my independence (independence)

I want my freedom (freedom), my freedom now

This time I walk away yeah (freedom)

This time I'm on my own (independence)

This time I walk away (freedom)

This time I'm on my own (independence)

Baby, I want my freedom yeah yeah

I want my independence

I want my freedom, my freedom, my
