Clarkson, Kelly - Miss Independent Lyrics






Miss Independent
Miss Self-Sufficient
Miss Keep-Your-Distance

Miss Unafraid
Miss Out-Of-My-Way
Miss Don't-Let-A-Man-Interfere, no

Miss On-Her-Own
Miss Almost-Grown
Miss Never-Let-A-Man-Help-Her-Off-Her-Throne

So, by keeping her heart protected
She'd never ever feel rejected
Little Miss Apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love

What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open my door
Surprise it's time
To feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love is true

Misguided heart
Miss Play-It-Smart
Miss If-You-Want-To-Use-That-Line-You-Better-Not-Start, no

But she miscalculated
She didn't want to end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love

What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open my door (open this door)
Surprise it's time
To feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye (goodbye), old you (old you)
When love, when love is true

When Miss Independence walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to Miss No-Longer-Afraid?

It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can't that be me
I'm so glad I finally see

What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open my door
Surprise (surprise), it's time
To feel (to feel) what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye (goodbye), old you
When love, when love is true

Miss Independent

  1. R.... R....

    A true bop

  2. M.... ....

    2020 anyone?

  3. M.... 2....

    I usually see a lot of anime music videos using this song. But I hope someone will one day use this for an Undertale animation. I just think part of this song somehow evokes the game itself.

  4. K.... M....

    This reminds me of the criminal music video by Fiona Apple!!

  5. j.... m....

    she's damn good

  6. S.... G....

    Whoever say she is fat are idiots...she look so 🔥

  7. M.... f....

    Throwback to 2003

  8. O.... C....

    Who else thinks she is awesome with the black hair

  9. T.... ....

    She so Bigg now dang

  10. S.... M....

    I miss this song ❤️

  11. J.... L....

    They drank WAY TOO MUCH Code Red Mountain Dew.... and stayed up too late playing X Box!

  12. K.... N....

    I loved this song always 👍

  13. B.... C....

    I heard this today in the hair store, took me back. I love it.

  14. D.... ....

    I'm a black boy and I LOVE Kelly Clarkson 😍

  15. V.... L....

    Kelly is one of those women with a powerful voice. She is a passionate fighter with raw emotion and fire. I won't ever get tired of her voice.

  16. L.... B....

    Sounds like a Fiona Apple song.
    Song called Criminal

  17. F.... ....

    It's clear to me why Christina wrote this for someone else, what a bad song.. and I'm a huge fan of Kelly!

  18. T.... O....

    0:04 For a second there, I thought the guy on the left with short, curly hair was Justin Guarini!

  19. F.... B....

    Man...did I want a scarf like that. Hands up for the early 2000s fashion.

  20. L.... ....

    0:56 at least they’re enjoying some gran turismo

  21. D.... F....

    Kelly looked cute in this video.

  22. s.... m....

    I don't think the video matches the lyrics

  23. 9.... ....

    still waiting for that Kelly x Xtina collab

  24. X.... 6....

    Here for the 2000 vibe check

  25. J.... ....

    Still jamming 💥💣🔥

  26. A.... R....

    So beautiful inside and out. Then and now.

  27. d.... ....

    She was cute then.

  28. j.... f....

    I dislike loud Music. But this song has to be played loud!

  29. J.... C....

    2:17 When Miss Independent walked away
    No time for love that came her way
    She looked in the mirror and thought today
    What happened to miss no longer afraid?It took some time for her to see
    How beautiful love could truly be
    No more talk of why can't that be me
    I'm so glad I've finally seen

    You can tell Kelly wrote that bridge. There's real sadness in those words. Maybe I'm crazy but I truly believe she was about to quit her Record Contract and the American Idol Prize. She wanted to do it from the get go. It wasn't at all what she wanted to do, the music she wanted to produce and sing, it's evident and she knew her future from the first album. 2:42 Even the headshots during the lyrics, she's immensely sad. Just my two cents from an obsessed fan. LOVE YOU KELLY!

  30. l.... t....

    Low rise flare jeans with worn out hems. Yea. This is definitely a 2000s video.

  31. G.... D....

    Everyone is arguing about who did what for this song originally, and I'm just here trying to figure out if I'm crazy for thinking I had heard this guitar riff in a Spyro Game

  49. T.... m....

    My song. Amen

  50. T.... P....

    Wow, I'm now 30 years old and reading these lyrics of the song, realizing that this is something I've been through. It was time to feel what's real, when love is true. I've never deepened into the lyrics till now, liked that song because of the vibe plus I was a teen when it first came out.

  51. O.... R....

    I’m still listening to this in 2019 ❤️
    Loved it in 2003, still love it now.

    O.... R....

    One Rare Gemstone Damn you look you asf still

  52. K.... P....

    MALE TRANNY

  53. f.... c....

    Am I the only one who is not here because of Kellys show but just because you are just randomly listening some good old songs???

  54. N.... N....

    Xtina brought me here !!! Love it

  55. M.... ....

    Had this song stuck in my head for about two weeks and couldn't remember ANYTHING about the lyrics or who sang it. Haven't heard this song since 2004.

  56. K.... C....

    This song is so before it’s time

  57. A.... N....

    I also came here because christina was on kelly clarkson show. I revisited.

  58. X.... R....

    Came here because of Kelly Clarkson Show :)

  59. A.... ....

    One of my fav Kelly songs tbh

  60. A.... H....

    Here for the interview with the 2 vocal queens 👸 xtina and Kelly!! This song sounds soooooooooo like XTINA ❤️

  61. E.... S....

    Here because of The Kelly Show and Xtina there ♡♡♡

    E.... S....

    Me too 😂😍

  62. S.... V....

    Came here from the kelly clarkson show. This song is so queen Xtina

    S.... V....

    I think this song could’ve been sung by P!nk and it still would be a banger!!! 💕

    S.... V....

    @Lance B well, no, that's not true. Real fans of either of them definitely knew. It's been addressed like more than 15 years ago. And yes, it IS very Christina, if you know her well. I mean, the whole arrangement thing is way too popy for Stripped for which it was originally written and I feel that it would've been completely different in that sense. But the lyrics ARE very Christina. It was her story at the time. She always said how she was always so driven and focused on her career. Never wanted to feel helpless to any man and always played hard to get. And how that her first love with her backup dancer took her completely by surprise and it was her first serious relationship, but was beautiful when she opened her heart to it.

    S.... V....

    Lance B Kelly was always an Xtina fan, she’s said she wrote on this song before but this was the first time she told christina herself.

    S.... V....

    I love Kelly ! Nice song !

  63. k.... ....

    2003... I was 15 then, so imagine it! I was quite eclectic with music for someone my age, but I can tell I also listened to this song like a million times. Oh memories!

  64. J.... L....

    Get crazy.....with ginger ale and silly string!

  65. i.... ....

    *Xtina* would've killed this!

  66. 1.... ....

    I love this still <3

  67. e.... j....

    A Kelly Clarkson &Pink Collab can be sooo lit

  68. F.... ....

    I can't wait to see her new talk show. :)

  69. D.... T....

    ⬆️⬆️⬆️☘️❤️

  70. J.... O....

    It's funny how the song doesn't fit her and the video..I thought it was pink singing it 🤯

  71. D.... ....

    Whys the bass and snare on this this sound like a slowed down version of ja rules "new york" song

  72. T.... P....

    I’m everything and more

  73. W.... B....

    In this video she kind of looks like Miley Cyrus. LeL!

  74. M.... C....

    I remember how hot super skinny scarves were! So 2003.

  75. t.... z....

    I like when pop had a meaning. I'm feeling this song 100 percent

  76. A.... B....

    2019 anyone😁💙💙

  77. R.... E....

    She looks like a mix between Brittany Snow and Lucy Hale here.

  78. D.... T....

    I wonder if she's found her cinnamon buns yet?

  79. R.... ....

    I'm trying to understand this video and its connection with the song..So the miss independent here is not a business profession woman, or an independent woman whose mature in age and is handling her shit in real world scenarios. Its a college girl whose going to college parties and just being a stiff to most of the guys she interacts with until she sees a cute one..

  80. T.... D....

    It’s a shame she let herself go.She was hot back before the doughnuts became her best friends.

  81. S.... C....

    Man, I remember listening to this song the first time in the early 2000s. Good times.

  82. G.... P....

    total shait

  83. M.... H....

    This is a total 2000s music video.

  84. K.... C....

    Christina and Kelly should collab on a sing with Miss Independent and Fighter vibes!!😍😍😍

  85. M.... P....

    The song is the Bomb!!!!! but the video needs to be better!!!!!! I can assist in making your videos better!!!

  86. M.... ....

    👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

  87. F.... H....

    Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent" is better in my opinion

  88. V.... M....

    3:12 brings me life.

  89. T.... c....

    This video screams late 90's-early 00's and I freakin' love it!!!!! KELLY ROCKS!!!!

  90. J.... S....

    2003 I remember I was I great 5 age 11

  91. J.... B....

    Miss 😘😍😍 Nicole 🙏 Beharie for storm I know you have to consider others but there is no doubt in my mind that she's the one for this role yeah I stand corrected and I'm going to own it and yes she is the one

  96. s.... ....

    The chorus in this song sounds like it has been sampled from the song Come Undone by Duran Duran (specifically the part that goes "Can't ever keep from falling apart
    At the seams. Can't I believe you're taking my heart to pieces" in the Duran Duran song).

  97. R.... H....

    "What happened to ma cinnamon BUNNNS!!!"
    This sounds so Christina Aguilera. Kelly's voice goes GREAT with it. Love this song!

  98. M.... C....

    Best song she ever did in my opinion..
    KC has one of the best voices in recent pop history. That chorus!!
    I love how the girls aren't half-naked in this video
