Let me sit right here                                                      
It’s important to me
To see this to the end                                         
Don’t interfere
I’ve got time                                                             
A whole lifetime
So, what’s it to you                                                
If I release my mind
You’ve got too much to say                             
About what I do today

I want independence!        
I want independence!        
I want independence!
I want independence!

Don’t tell me                                                            
I already know
You can’t tell me nothin’                                        
I ain’t forgotten before
All I want                                                                   
Is all I want
I’ll ignore everything else                                       
Just see that you don’t
Sidecar is gonna go                                                      
I’m riding solo

I want independence!        
I want independence!        
I want independence!
I want independence!

I’ve been thinking                                                         
And it’s just not fair
How your presence                                                      
Follows me everywhere
I’ve got my                                                                
Own ideas
But you’re gonna hold me back                               
For a dozen years

I can act        
like I don’t care   
because I know 
you’ll always be there

I want independence!        
I want independence!        
I want independence!
I want independence!
