lyrics

Independent Man
By Jeremy Goddard ©2003

You won’t talk to me baby, but you don’t wanna let me go
Like a vase on your mantle piece am I only really there for show
You say it’ll break your heart to lose me, if I walk out of that door
But you broken my heart so many times I can’t really be sure

You’re such an independent woman, but no freedoms on your mind
It’s just bling bling, cars and rich men that your heart’ll find
Need no man to satisfy you, you keep a dildo in your bag
And if that ain’t enough there’s a long line in wait for a shag

Independent man I am,
Can I get by without you? I know that I can
Independent man I am,
Can you get by without me?
I don’t give a damn no more, I don’t give a damn no more

Am I just a stepping stone to stop you falling in
Another rung on the ladder of your social climbing
Would it really matter girl if I was no longer there
Would you fall on your ass or wet your salon styled hair

And if that hair was longer like a monkey in a tree
Men would be the branches which you swung from with glee
You wake up every morning in a cold sweat from the dreams that you just had
But what you ain’t realized yet reality is just as bad

Independent man I am,
Can I get by without you? I know that I can
Independent man I am,
Can you get by without me?
I don’t give a damn no more, I don’t give a damn no more
