It Kills Me…

Have you heard that song by Melanie Fiona, “It Kills Me”? I LOVE that song, but as I listened to the lyrics of this song; I quickly realized this should not be any woman’s theme song (no offense Melanie).  Like I said, I love this song; Melanie has a great voice – I mean the sista can blow, the track is hot and the harmonies are solid. However, don’t be so quick to make it your theme song for 2010. Have you checked the lyrics??

Let me recap:

1st Verse:

Oh yaahh ive 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 messin around, but who the hell else is gonna hold me down

—Ok, from the jump this isn’t sounding too good. Problem #1 – your man isn’t coming home. Problem #2 – you know he’s messing around, but this is the type of cat you want holding you down; CA-RAY-ZEEEEEE!!!

2nd Verse:

Should I grab his cell, call this chick up
Start some shhhh then hang up
Or I should I be a lady
Oohh maybe cuz I wanna have his babies
Ohh yah yahh cuz I don’t wanna be alone
I dont need to be on my own
But I love this man
But some things I cant stand ohhhh

—Huh, sounds like things are not improving. Let’s see, can you point out the craziest part of this verse? Oh, you caught that too? Yes, he’s a liar and a cheat and YET, you want to have his babies. What kind of new fangled shit is this?!?!?!?!?

Some women have a tendency to hang on to relationships that mean them no good simply because they don’t want to be alone. But, being alone is sometimes necessary; to clear your head, get rid of excess baggage and rediscover who you really are.  Doing this will better equip you for the next relatonship. No man wants a jacked up insecure woman.

You know how y’all are so quick to make a song your theme song for the year, but ladies, this one clearly isn’t it!

Now that we got that out the way, enjoy the video, but remember, if your relationship kills you; you need to kill it!
