---
I finally reached the point
Where I can make it alone
Now I'll declare my independence
I don't need you anymore
So I don't ever again wanna see your face
Even if you want me I'm making this the end
Oohh, it used to be so easy
In our early days I remember when
You tried so hard to please me
But then everything was easier then
I'm making plans of my own
I've got an outlook on life
Not even slight consideration
Could sway me from my stand
I know you think me a fool
You never thought it was bad
But I'm the one that started chokin'
When I was eatin' from your hand
I know I'll make it
Watch and you'll see
I'll soon recover, oh yeah
Now that I'm free
I finally reached the point
Where I can make it alone
Now I'll declare my independence
I know you think me a fool
You never thought I was bad
But I'm the one that started chokin'
The chains are gone from my life
And I'll be back on the street
Just like a child starting school
I'll be learning once again
So I don't ever again
Wanna see your face
Even if you want me
So I don't ever again
Wanna see your face
Even if you want me, want me, want me
I know you think me a fool
You never thought I was bad
But I'm the one that started chokin'
