DON'T TELL ME I DIDN'T WORK FOR IT
You know, I've never been terribly fond of this song. In fact, I never really even listened to the lyrics until today. And you know what? I realized that years ago I would not have admitted to the character traits described in the song. But turning 50 changes a lot of things... My first impression was "Hey! This song is aboot me!" but then I was instantly disappointed when I realized it's about Everywoman. Yeah, well. So at least I'm in touch with the me I know.
Follow the bouncing ball. (If you don't understand, you're too young to be reading here.)
B*tch - Meredith Brooks
I hate the world today
You're so into me, I know, but I can't change
Tried to tell you, but you look at me like maybe,
I'm an angel underneath, innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relived to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything, all rolled into one
I'm a b*tch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothin' in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
So take me as I am, this may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assure that when I start to make you nervous
and I'm goin' to extremes, tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
Chorus
Just when you think you got me figured out
The seasons already changin'
I think it's cool, you do what you do
and don't try to save me
Chorus
I'm a b*tch, I'm a tease,
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer,
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived, can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

I'm alot of other things too. I'm sure you'll be happy to remind me what any of those things might be. PD can fill in all the remaining blanks. And in my defense, there are things that I am also not. Uppermost at the moment being - proud of this lamest of all lame posts. You did read that the way I intended, right? As in, not proud.

I have always liked that Meredith Brooks song...
I to never liked this song. The words kinda make me think she is whining about herself. But everyone has to have a theme song. Ming is "Off he goes" by Perl Jam.
It's alright Wink, we have all done it at some time or another. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a whole song to add to the word count of a post. At least it makes it look like the post is substantial.
I think the song most likely to have been written about me is "Loser" by Beck.
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me.
I'm with 2c. Never cared for it. Must not appeal to guys much. Makes sense. I would worry about me if I walked around the house belting out this tune.
TC: My theme song is One Wink at a Time, could you guess? by the Replacements of course.
Simon: Bite Me. Yeah, I hate you. Like I hate peanut butter fudge.
Jeff: Even if you were, I wouldn't.
Mark: Didn't really appeal to me either aside from the words. Lately I've been feeling what I thought was "multi-faceted. Turns out I'm just feeling overwhelmed by too many demands on me. You can see how I may have gotten the two mixed up, right?
