Independent Women, Part II Songtext
von Destiny’s Child

What you think about a girl like me?
Got my own car and spend my own money
Only ring your celly when I′m feeling lonely
When it's all over, please get up and leave

Please don′t call me, baby, 'cause I'll call you
Don′t mean to hurt your feelings, got a lot to do
′Cause I am my number one priority
No falling in love, no commitment from me

All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money-making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me


If you feel it, throw them hands up
Where them hands at? If you feel it
Where the ladies? Where my homegirls?
Where my females? Where my women?

How you feel about a girl like this?
Try to control me, boy, you'll get dismissed
Do what I want, live how I wanna live
Buy my own diamonds, and I pay my own bills

Please don′t call me, baby, 'cause I′ll call you
Don't mean to hurt your feelings, got a lot to do
′Cause I am my number one priority
No falling in love, no commitment from me

All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money-making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me


If you feel it, throw them hands up
Where them hands at? If you feel it
Where the ladies? Where my homegirls?
Where my females? Where my women?

How did you feel about this groove I wrote?
Hope you got the message, ladies, take control
Don't depend on no man to give you what you want
Keep that in mind next time you hear this song

If you're independent, I congratulate you
If you ain′t in love, I congratulate you
Do them boys like they used to do you
If you pimp them, I congratulate you

All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money-making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me

If you feel it, throw them hands up
Where them hands at? If you feel it
Where the ladies? Where my homegirls?
Where my females? Where my women?

If I hurt your feelings, boy, I′m sorry
But I didn't mean to hurt you, yeah
I thought you knew, yeah
Got no time to fall in love with you, yeah

All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money-making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me

All my independent women
Throw them hands up at me
And all my sexy women
Throw them hands up at me
All my money-making women
Throw them hands up at me
All my baller women
Throw them hands up at me
