MEREDITH BROOKS

Bitch

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 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

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 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

Chorus

Just when you think you've 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

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 numbed, I'm revived
can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

 

I need

I need some good luck
I need a best friend
I need a rough dog
I need a mountain
I need some new clothes a TV, a cause
a trip to nirvana, the thrill of applause
I need a wet kiss
I need to confess
I need a vision, religion, the right to be silent
and then to be heard
a week on an island
a diet that works

I need a dose of the Bible
another course of survival
just talking 'bout the essentials
to make me feel alive

Thats all I need
see how easy I am to please
Thats all I need
see how easy I am

I need some money, more money and more time
a strong cup of coffee
a haircut, a lifeline
a stranger to trust me
my father to love me
Seattle, a sunburn, and lots of Todd Rundgren
I need a guitar
to do it on all fours
Cool friends, weekends and someone to die for

When I'm alone on my couch
Nothing can settle me down
I'm adding on to my list
It makes me feel alive

Thats all I need
see how easy I am to please
Thats all I need
see how easy I am I am I am

yeah thats all I need

I need a guru
I need to chill
I need a Mercedes 280 SL
yeah that'll fix it- I'll be complete
I need a -- I need I need a

That's all I need
see how easy I am to please
Thats all I need
Maybe then I will be complete

That's all I need
I'm not asking for everything
That's all I need
See how easy I am - I am

 

Pollyanne

Here we go again
Same old argument
You're callin' me Miss Pollyanne

You see the world as cruel
And bein' mad is cool
You're thinkin' I don't give a d***

(chorus)
You don't have to shout to be heard
Who said dark is deep
You'd rather flip the bird
I'd rather show you signs of peace
Love ain't a dyin' art as far as I can see
Oh sentimental me

Fist up in the air
My knees should be up there
You only give yourself away
So paint your roses black and blue
Use the f*** word, I can too
When I have nothing else to say

(repeat chorus)

Here we go again
We may never change
So you can call me Pollyanne.
