Songs That Changed the World--The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era: "Independent Women" by Destiny's Child

    The song salutes women that call their own shots and gives hope to women that are dominated in relationships.  The message is that women should be free to explore their own dreams.  The best relationships are a 50/50 mix anyway in which both partners have an equal say.




    "Independent Women"
    by Destiny's Child



    Question: Tell me what you think about me
    I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
    Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
    When it's all over please get up and leave
    Question: Tell me how you feel about this
    Try to control me boy you get dismissed
    Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
    Always 50/50 in relationships


    The shoes on my feet
    I've bought it
    The clothes I'm wearing
    I've bought it
    The rock I'm rockin'
    I've bought it
    'Cause I depend on me
    If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
    I'll buy it
    The house I live in
    I've bought it
    The car I'm driving
    I've bought it
    I depend on me
    (I depend on me)


    All the women who are independent
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the honeys who makin' money
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the mommas who profit dollas
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the ladies who truly feel me
    Throw your hands up at me


    Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
    Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
    Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
    Charlie, how your Angels get down like that


    Tell me how you feel about this
    Who would I want if I would wanna live
    I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get
    Ladies, it ain't easy bein' independent
    Question: How'd you like this knowledge that I brought
    Braggin' on that cash that he gave you is to front
    If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt
    Depend on noone else to give you what you want


    The shoes on my feet
    I've bought it
    The clothes I'm wearing
    I've bought it
    The rock I'm rockin'
    I've bought it
    'Cause I depend on me
    If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
    I'll buy it
    The house I live in
    I've bought it
    The car I'm driving
    I've bought it
    I depend on me
    (I depend on me)


    All the women who are independent
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the honeys who makin' money
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the mommas who profit dollas
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the ladies who truly feel me
    Throw your hands up at me


    Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
    Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
    Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
    Charlie, how your Angels get down like that


    Destiny's Child
    Wassup?
    You in the house?
    Sure 'nuff
    We'll break these people off Angel style


    Child of Destiny
    Independent beauty
    Noone else can scare me
    Charlie's Angels


    Woah
    All the women who are independent
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the honeys who makin' money
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the mommas who profit dollas
    Throw your hands up at me
    All the ladies who truly feel me
    Throw your hands up at me


    Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
    Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
