Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Ooh, it's something about
Just something about the way she moves
I can't figure it out, there's something about her
Said, ooh, it's something about
Kind a woman that wants you but don't need you
Hey, I can't figure it out
There's something about her
[PreChorus]
'Cause she walk like a boss, talk like a boss
Manicured nails to set the pedicure off
She's fly effortlessly
And she move like a boss, do what a boss do
She got me thinking about getting involved
That's the kind of girl I need, oh
[Chorus]
She got her own thing
That's why I love her
Miss Independent
Won't you come and spend a little time?
She got her own thing
That's why I love her
Miss Independent
Ooh, the way we'd shine, Miss Independent, yeah
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
[Verse 2]
Ooh, there's something about
Kind a woman that can do for herself
I look at her and it makes me proud
There's something about her
There's something oh so sexy about
The kind a woman that don't even need my help
She said she got it, she got it, no doubt
There's something about her
[PreChorus]
'Cause she work like a boss, play like a boss
Car and a crib, she 'bout to pay 'em both off
And her bills are paid on time
She made for a boss, only a boss
Anything less, she tellin' them to get lost
That's the girl that's on my mind
[Chorus]
She got her own thing
That's why I love her
Miss Independent
Won't you come and spend a little time?
She got her own thing
That's why I love her
Miss Independent
Ooh, the way we'd shine, Miss Independent, yeah
[Verse 3]
Mmh, her favorite thing to say, "Don't worry, I got it"
Mmh, and everything she got, best believe she bought it
Mmh, she gon' steal my heart, ain't no doubt about it
Girl, you're everything I need
Said you're everything I need
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh whoa
[Chorus]
She got her own thing
That's why I love her (That's why I love her, oh)
Miss Independent (Independent)
Won't you come and spend a little time?
She got her own thing (She got, she got)
That's why I love her (That's why I love that girl)
Miss Independent
Ooh, the way we'd shine, Miss Independent, yeah
[Outro]
Miss Independent
That's why I love her
