I hate the world today
You're so good to 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
Must have been relieved 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 bitch, 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 nothing 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 assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me
I'm a bitch, 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
Meredith Brooks sums up what a being a woman is really about. This is such a cheerful song. It starts from a depressing place "I hate the world today" and carries the listener to a very happy state "I wouldn't want it any other way!" After all the time we've spent condemning ourselves for the "negative" parts of ourselves, it is the complexity of our woman-ness that makes us who we are.!
People picture you one way and when you show your other sides to them, they freak out! It is so easy to build up a picture of a person you are talking to onine but when reality hits your vision is often dissolved.
"The season's already changin'" Changing seasons can be moods, but can also be changing phases in life. It's good to lose the rigidity in life enough to allow for developing as a person.
