All my life I remember I was told that I need a man to make me whole
I believed that I couldn't be a woman alone
So, I searched every day for someone who could give me happiness and truth
Didn't realize that I was living confused
Oh, it's okay (okay)
That it displays, has been in place
Now I can truly smile
No more lies, thank God goodbye
I'm satisfied
Now I can stand on my own
Oh, yeah
I will never let another tell me that I can't be (be)
I will be by myself and only me, me, me (only me, me)
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free (free)
I will never let another tell me that I can't be (be)
I will be by myself and only me, me, me
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free
Don't get me wrong I ain't hating on a man
There is one part of my life that he must understand
I truly believe that he's part of God's plan
But I have learned that to love somebody else
You gotta first put loving on yourself
I no longer leavin' under a spell
Oh, it's okay (it's okay)
That it displays, has been in place
Now I can truly smile
No more lies (no more lies), thank God goodbye (bye, bye)
I'm satisfied
Now I can stand on my own, oh yeah
I will never let another tell me that I can't be (be)
I will be by myself and only me, me, me
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free
I will never let another tell me that I can't be
I will be by myself and only me, me, me
Can't happen, I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free
I finally have control of my life, yeah
I've broken free, I'm doing what's right, ooh
I had to learn that the hard way, oh yeah
It made me who I am
A stronger woman today, oh yeah
I will never let another tell me no-no
I will never let another tell me that I can't be
I will be by myself with only me, me, me
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free (free)
I will never let another tell me that I can't be, no-no-no
I will be by myself with only me, me, me (with only me, me)
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free (so free)
I will never let another tell me that I can't be (be)
I will be by myself with only me, me, me (with only me, me)
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free (so free)
I will never let another tell me that I can't be
I will be by myself with only me me me
(I'm so happy baby)
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free (free)
I will never let another tell me that I can't be (tell me that)
I will be by myself with only me, me, me
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free (free)
I will never let another tell me that I can't be
I will be by myself with only me, me, me (only me, me)
Can't happen I'm excited, there's no way I can hide it I am free
So free, so free (free)
