[English]

Yo, why are there girls in the gym

Sorry to interrupt but we're going to need the gym for our big game that is coming up

So you all can just dance your way out

We actually scheduled the gym for our dance practice so you guys can dribble your way on out of here

Ladies, ladies we kind of need the gym for a real sport

You wouldn't last 5 minutes at our dance practice

We wouldn't even break a sweat

Then let's have a little competition

You guys learn our routines and we will learn yours

And whoever wins gets the gym

Deal

oooohhh

Looking good, feeling great when I walk in the room

Nothing you can say or do is gon’ change my mood

My confidence alone is enough for two

I bounce back like a ball baby, I can't lose

After everything I've been through now

Didn't back down

What you give comes around

So don't you think that I give up easy

No, you can't count me out! Hey!

Cuz my future's bright

Can't deny, Never felt so alive

So, when you see me winning, clink clink

Say a cheers for me now! Hey!

I'm an independent girl; don't need to worry bout me

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Don't want your cash, your car, I make my own money

Uh-huh, uh-huh

So, if you come my way like I’m something to save

Then you’re gonna be put in your place

I'm an independent girl so you best stay out my way

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Don't be thinking that I need anything from you

Long as I got my girls with me ya, I'm cool

And I can rock a pink dress, or I can wear a suit

I can play both roles, baby better than you

After everything I've been through now

Didn't back down

What you give comes around

So don't you think that I give up easy

No, you can't count me out! Hey!

Cuz my future's bright

Can't deny, Never felt so alive

So, when you see me winning, clink clink

Say a cheers for me now! Hey!

I'm an independent girl; don't need to worry bout me

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Don't want your cash, your car, I make my own money

Uh-huh, uh-huh

So, if you come my way like I’m something to save

Then you’re gonna be put in your place

I'm an independent girl so you best stay out my way

Uh-huh, uh-huh

I am an independent

Yes, she is an independent

Sing if you're an independent

GIRL!

I am an independent

Yes, she is an independent

Sing if you're an independent

GIRL!

I'm an independent girl; don't need to worry bout me

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Don't want your cash, your car, I make my own money

Uh-huh, uh-huh

So, if you come my way like I’m something to save

Then you’re gonna be put in your place

I'm an independent girl so you best stay out my way

Uh-huh, uh-huh

[Music]

You guys are leaving already?

I mean a deal is a deal

I guess there is enough room in here for all of us

You mean I can keep practicing my dance moves

You can stay only if you promise to never dance again

That's fair that's fair

I can't believe I lost to some girls

That's the second time this week

[Music]
