Ah yeah that's right
   All you single people out there
   This is for you
  
   I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
   (Cos I'm happy where I am)
   Don't depend on a guy to validate me
   (No no)
   I don't need to be anyone's baby
   (Is that so hard to understand?)
   No I don't need another half to make me whole
  
   Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
   I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
  
   [Chorus:]
   This is my current single status
   My declaration of independence
   There's no way I'm tradin' places
   Right now a star's in the ascendant
  
   I'm single
   (Right now)
   That's how I wanna be
   I'm single
   (Right now)
   That's how I wanna be
  
   Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right
  
   Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
   (I like who I am)
   I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
   I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should
   (Can't romance on demand)
   I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood
  
   [Chorus]
  
   Everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
   I know I'll settle down one day
   But 'til then I like it this way it's my way
   Eh I like it this way
  
   Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
   I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
   'Til then I'm single
  
   This is my current single status
   My declaration of independence
   There's no way I'm tradin' places
   Right now a star's in the ascendant
