Wo.man Like Me

So I was going through some of my regular blogs and I came across this song on one of the play lists that automatically starts when you get to the page that I've not been a huge fan of (except for a few sites that keep it HOT...lol).. Anyway.. I wanna say thanks hadassah because when I heard this song, I could not stop listening to it. And when I say not stop listening to it, I mean, I put it on my mp3 immediately and had it on repeat when I was in the yard working, had it on my laptop when continuing to blog, made a cd just so that I could have it when I get in my car. There is something about real instrument work that makes me groove so hard that I loose myself. But it wasn't just that. It was the words that made me listen real intensly. I mean, I really related and honestly, I have not identified with a song about my current mental state of womanhood so fiercely in recent years. And go figure... it comes from the movie P.ink P.anther... Lemme break it down...my comments are in red)

The Lyr.ics

[VERSE 1:]

Do you think

You could fall for a woman like me

(that's always a qestion I have)

Cause I find it hard to trust

(omgosh if this aint the truth, I don't know what is)

I need too much

(I've always felt like someone that might expect a great deal; especially within the initial pursuit~ the lacksidasical nature of a man really makes me think that I may need too much sometimes...)

And I really don't believe in love, no no

(I do believe in love, but I'm still questioning it's possibility for me...sometimes...I go back and forth with it)

Do you think

That I could be the girl of your dreams

(cause God knows I wanna be)

Sometimes I don't let things go

(But I do my best to talk myself rationally through it)

Get emotional

(well I am a woman... what do you expect...lol)

And sometimes

I'm just out of control

(ummmm, no comment...lol)

[CHORUS:]

You need to stop for a minute

Before you get too, deep up in it(Too deep)

(yeh... cause I may not be where you are emotionally since I have been known to be guarded)

'Cause everything ain't what it seems

(my flirtatious nature may be perceived wrong)

It's hard loving a woman

A woman like me(Woman like me)

(i'll wait for someone to actually be in love with me before i co-sign on this line)

You need to think about it

(yes... please think. i don't like those that kinda back into it relationships... e.g. chillin every so often, starting to get physical, then next thing you know, someones callin someone else a significant other... as sooo many relationships do these days it seems like)

Before you get hooked on the venom

(haha, yeah... i can be poisonous i guess)

And can't live without it(No no)

(addiction... might be nice)

Can't believe everything you see

It's hard loving a woman

A woman like me

[VERSE 2:]

Do you think

That I could be the one that you seek

(ya'll see that line ^^^^= that YOU seek... umhmmm, men need to think on that...lol)

'Cause baby I'm one step ahead

You're two steps behind

But baby I don't mind

(i definately think waaaaay ahead when dealing with people... the projection of where our interaction can possibly go. I may not discuss it, but I definately think on it)

Do you think

That I can make you real happy baby

(because I could...*smiles*)

Just don't get me wrong

My loving is so strong

(mmmhmmm, because it's potent... hasn't been diluted with other interactions...lol)

But I ain't tryna lead you on

[CHORUS:]
