I've been torn and broken
I've been left out in the pouring rain
I've been left in the dark for so long
With no-one to hold my hand
No-one to walk along beside me
I was alone and afraid of walking on
But.
I've grown-up since then
I'm not a little girl anymore no, no
I was 5 but now I'm 18 years old
I'm facing my early adult hood
I'm facing whatever life throws at me
I'm on my own
I feel more independent then I've ever been before.
I'm an independent woman
Longing to have a taste of life outside
In the big great wide world
I'm an independent woman
I'm so young and so carefree
I got nothing to worry about
It's just me and nothing else
I'm an independent woman.
I was taught to do no wrong
But temptation got the best of me
I let it get too far now
I'm stuck in a hole so deep that I just
Can't escape
I need to get myself out of this place I' in now.
People make mistakes and people fall
They lose their ground the fall so hard sometimes
They don't know what to do
I know I'm not perfect no-one is
The world is so beautifully imperfect
One of these days
The world will become a better place.
I'm an independent woman
Longing to have a taste of life outside
In the big great wide world
I'm an independent woman
I'm so young and so carefree
I got nothing to worry about
It's just me and nothing else
I'm an independent woman.
I'm an independent woman
Longing to have a taste of life outside
In the big great wide world
I'm an independent woman
I'm so young and so carefree
I got nothing to worry about
It's just me and nothing else
I'm an independent woman.
