I say



You say I need a man,
You say I clean,
You say I cook,
Well, I'm done,
I say I'm fine single,
I say I'll clean when I want,
I say I'll cook when i want.

I say I'm an independent woman,
I say I'm a giving woman,
I say I'm gonna do what I want.

I say I'm flying,
I say I'm growing,

You can try to stop me,
But I'm living my best life, here and now.
