Every time she sees a movie
She thinks it's about her
And every time she hears a song
She thinks it's about them

She has never felt this way before
No, she has never felt this way
She has never loved before

But in the past, she'd always been selfish
But in the past, she'd always been able to run
So nothing had ever held her there
No boy that she had ever cared for
She doubted this could happen to her
She had no idea what feelings were
Now she knows if she ever leaves
She won't have a thing to believe in

This was an independent girl

It is not her nature to kiss
It's not her nature to even think about a song like this
Oh yeah, but something comes when they're together
Turns her into a silly, laughing, drooling, crying little girl

She says, "Come on, grow old with me
They say the best is yet to be
Now, come on, grow old with me
They say the best is yet to be,"

I ask you to hold my hand
You put your arm around me
You help me understand
Dependence is new to me
Completeness, a wonder to see
Something comes inside of me
And I've never never felt so free
And if I tell you once, I can't do it again
I love you more than I can comprehend

This was an independent girl

She never wanted this before
And now she thinks she doesn't want anything more

She says, "Come on, grow old with me
They say the best is yet to be
Now, come on, grow old with me
They say the best is yet to be
Now, come on grow old with me
They say the best is yet to be
Now, come on grow old with me
They say the best is yet to be,"

Something comes when they're together
Turns me into a silly, laughing
Something comes when they're together
Turns me into a silly, laughing
Something comes when they're together
Turns her into a silly, laughing, drooling, crying little girl

This was an independent girl
This was an independent girl
This was an independent
I was an independent
