Cha cha cha ching,
Don’t need a diamond ring,
'Cause I only need me,
Yeah, it pays to feel free,
Don’t need nobody else,
I’m good all by myself,
Do what I want, when I want,
I do it so well.

Born to be independent,
If I want it, I’ma get it,
Just something in my genetics,
If I wanna, I’ma spend it,
Born to be independent,
If you wanna learn a lesson,
Get your bag and then finesse it,
Let me show you how to get it,
Independent.

We want it, we get it,
We’re so independent,
So flaunt it, finesse it,
We’re so independent.

Yeah, if they’re dragging your name,
Please don’t care what they say,
Won’t say it to your face,
'Cause they’re so afraid,
'Cause we got what we need,
And we’re out of their league,
They won’t admit that they’ve been staring jealously.

Born to be independent,
If you wanna learn a lesson,
Get your bag and then finesse it,
Let me show you how to get it,
Independent.

We want it, we get it,
We’re so independent,
So flaunt it, finesse it,
We’re so independent.

Born to be independent,

If I wanna, I’ma spend it,

We want it, we get it,
We’re so independent,

We’re so independent.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Some may call it selfish,
Some might think I'm vain,
Yeah, it took some practice,
To get out my own way,
I tried to be a remedy,
For everybody else,
But now I see,
That energy,
Was tearing me down,
Bent myself over backward,
For things that didn't matter.

No more apologies,
It feels good to be free.

Putting me, putting me first,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Now I know what I deserve,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Only me, myself, and I,
Gonna be my ride or die,
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

It's all about me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

Done with hesitating,
No more second place,
I got tired of waiting,
They 'bout to know my name,
Moving from the back seat,
To my hands on the wheel,
No looking in the rearview, babe,
It's only up from here.

Let 'em say what they wanna say,
All their talk is just cheap to me.

No more apologies,
It feels good to be free.

Putting me, putting me first,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Now I know what I deserve,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Only me, myself, and I,
Gonna be my ride or die,
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

It's all about me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me,
Me, me, me, me.
I'm putting me, putting me,
Putting me, putting me first.

Fairy lights are glowing,
Wreath is on the door,
The Christmas tree is standing proud,
The stockings are hung up by the crackling fire,
With presents all around,
Sugar, spice, and cinnamon,
Float through the air,
The table is set with the finest tableware,
But there’s one last touch that I’ve left unseen,
A secret we can share,
I’ve got you something special,
It’s really something special,
Like skybound rides on Santa’s sleigh,
And I know you’re dying to see it now,
But I’m saving it for Christmas day,
60 seconds in a minute,
60 minutes in an hour,
24 hours in a day,
I’m counting every one till I see you again,
I hope you’re on your way,
The candles softly flicker,
The pink skies promise snow,
The world is gently wrapped in the warmest golden glow,
And if you tiptoe down early I’ll be there,
Under the mistletoe,
I’ve got you something special,
It’s really something special,
Like skybound rides on Santa’s sleigh,
And I know you’re dying to see it now,
But I’m saving it for Christmas day,
I’ve got you something special,
It's something transcendental,
Delivered in a wondrous way,
I'll give you a clue, I want it too,
I’m saving it for Christmas day.
