“I don’t need you to worry for me ‘cause I’m alright / I don’t want you to tell me it’s time to come home / I don’t care what you say anymore this is my life / Go ahead with your own life leave me alone,” sang Clarkson, 40, on the 1978 hit’s chorus, smiling at the camera.
“I never said you had to offer me a second chance / I never said I was a victim of circumstance / I still belong / Don’t get me wrong / You can speak your mind but not on my time,” continued the singer-songwriter.
