Independent Woman lyrics

He was standing in the lobby with big, brown eyes,
A beautiful woman standing to his side.
I walked by and he said, `Hi.` I never thought that I would be his type.
He suggested that we should go outside.
He dazzled me with money and his fancy ride.
He said he`d take me away and buy me diamond rings.
Thanks, but no thanks. I got my own thing.

I`m trying to be that woman, the independent lady who depends on no one.
Skee bo skele boe a ma de do. You better watch out cuz I`m hip to you.
Skee bo skele boe a ma do dang. Thanks, but no thanks. I got my own thing.

He might be blushing but it`s hard to tell.
He began to grin as the clock struck twelve.
Standing alone with such a handsome fella.
He might be a prince but I`m no Cinderella.
He`s got money, fancy things, quite handsome, coated with fame.
He didn`t even think that I`d know his name.
Tried to play me out but I was hip to his game.

Skee bo skele boe a ma do dat. The lady`s all paws as he tilts his hat.
Skee bo skele boe a ma do ne. I can`t believe that he`s looking at me.
Skee bo skele boe a ma do no. There`s an independent woman.
Got a hold of her own.
Skee bo skele boe a ma do dang. Thanks, but no thanks. I got my own thing.
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah. boom ba doop, yeah
