Mahalia Independence Day
I don't need you to love me, I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me when you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry, I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way
I don't know when you decided your friends were in this relationship too
Please let me understand, why I've got boys acting like men
Telling me doo-doo like what you've been up to?
Oh, why can't you just be true?
I don't need you to love me, I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me when you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry, I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way
Where did the privacy go?
The place, the space, the only thing you and me know
Supposed to me and you, not the mates of your mates and their followers too
If you do it that way then gimme, gimme, gimme my Independence Day
I don't need you to love me, I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me when you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry, I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way
Runaway, runaway, runaway now
Getaway, getaway, getaway now
I'm away, I'm away, get away, get away
Runaway, runaway, runaway now
Getaway, getaway, getaway, getaway
I don't need you to love me, I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me when you're wanting someone else
And I don't need you to worry, I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way
I don't need you to love me, I can love myself
And I don't need you to want me when you're wanting someone else
I don't need you to worry, I can worry 'bout myself
And I'll be okay, I'll get out your way
