Lyrics of
Bitch

Bitch by Meredith Brooks, released in 1997, deals with the complexity of women and embracing all their contradictory facets. It became an anthem for female empowerment. The inspiration came from the personal experiences of Brooks and co-writer Shelly Peiken.

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 and 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

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 extreme tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing

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


Just when you think you got me
Figured out the season's already changin'
I think it's cool you do what ya do and don't try to save me

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

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 woulden't want it any other way
