Single Ladies

30 Song Post # 14:  A song that no one would expect me to love: It Kills Me by Melanie Fiona

I don't do a whole lot of R&B, unless it's old school, but I can't lie, I LOVE this kind of song, and this one in particular is EVERYTHING. I know, I know, but if you listen hard enough, she'll say some things (in the words of Young Jeezy).

Oh yeah I've got trouble with my friends
Trouble in my life
Problems when you don’t come home at night
But when you do you always start a fight
But I cant be alone, I need you to come on home
I know you messing around...

...Ive gotta be out my mind
To think its gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
And it kills me to know how much I really love you...



I am here to tell you , men complain about crazy women, but alot of them were sane and fine before someone that she gave her heart to played with it until she got this way. And the opposite is true, most of those men are messed up from being mistreated. Vicious cycle. Every.Single. Woman. has been crazy over some man, we just don't always admit it.

I am a proud woman, but I have been dragged through some MESS, okay? and it pushed me to the point where I felt like I couldn't admit defeat bc of all that I had fought for, which is crazy.

I think I like this song bc it's just so real. I know a million women that could sing this like an anthem, and that's a shame, but it's legitimate. When she says "so much I wanna Ooh ooh oooooooh", I get ALL of the feels. The frustration, the internal battle, it's palpable. "Should I be a lady?"

It's a decision every day to be a lady. There is not one woman that doesn't have it in them to be psychotic over her man, but we can choose to go the other way, even when we know that letting the beast loose would feel better. If we hold it in, we come out on top, but we pay a hefty price. When my hubby hears this one come on, he knows that it is time to smooth some stuff OUT! lol
