Independence Day - Mahalia

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
