Meredith Brooks - Bitch

[pegkerr]

I know I'm late to the party, but this is my new personal theme song.

The lyrics go:

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
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

Chorus:
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 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 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

I first learned of this song when Fiona, for a Christmas present, gave me a DVD/movie with photographs of me (doing karate, cooking, laughing, doing things with my girls) with this as the soundtrack. I love it that my fourteen year old daughter thought that this song sums me up.

I think it means I must be doing something right.

Question for parents: Tell me about something that happened with your child that made you think, "Damn, I'm doing this parenting right."
