惠特尼-休斯顿(Whitney Houston)是美国歌坛、影坛的老牌明星，在新星群起的今天，老星又以其独特的光芒登场了。

　　I'm wiser now. I'm not the foolish girl you used to know so long ago./ I'm stronger now. I've learned from my mistakes which way to go/ and I should know: I put myself aside to do it your way./ But now I need to do it all alone.

　　●And I am not afraid to try it on my own./ I don't care if I'm right or wrong./ I'll live my life the way I feel./ No matter what, I'll keep it real, you know./ Time for me to do it on my own. Yeah!●

　　It's over now. I can't go back to living through your eyes./ Too many lines. And if you don't know by now,/ I can't go back to being someone else, not anymore./ I never had a chance to do things my way,/ so now it's time for me to take control.(重复●●部分)

　　Oh, I start again, go back to one./ I'm running things my way./ [You] can't stop me now. I've just begun./ Don't even think about it./ There ain't no way about it./ I'm taking names, the ones of mine./ Yes, I'm going to take my turn./ It's time for me to finally stand alone.(重复●●部分)

　　如今我变得聪明了/不再是你很久以前所知道的傻丫头/如今我更加坚强/我从错误中学会了路该怎样走……
