Meredith Brooks - Bitch Lyrics




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
+
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 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 numb, I'm revived
+
Can't say I'm not alive
+
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
+

Bitch

"Bitch", also known by its censored title "B***h (Nothing in Between)",[citation needed] is a song by American singer-songwriter Meredith Brooks and co-written with Shelly Peiken. It was released in March 1997 as the lead single from Brooks' second album, Blurring the Edges (1997). The song was produced by punk notable Geza X.

"Bitch" was written by Brooks and Shelly Peiken. The song originated from feelings of frustration that Peiken felt in regards to her stalling music career. These feelings of frustration inspired the song's opening lyrics—"I hate the world today"—which resulted in Peiken conceptualizing a song titled "Bitch". Peiken reached out to Brooks to collaborate on the song, commenting: "[Brooks] had a lot of spunk, and I knew she could relate to this idea."

Brooks claimed that she was additionally inspired to write the song after reading the writings of psychiatrist Carl Jung. The song was written in a single day in a spare bedroom of Peiken's home in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. In an interview with Billboard, Brooks described the song as being about self-acceptance, referring to the word "bitch" as a term of endearment. Brooks intended to reclaim the word, removing the pejorative connotations surrounding it.

She further explained the meaning of the song:
"I'm not "an angry young girl" - or whatever the phrase of the moment is - but I'm human. It's not to excuse ranting and raving, but I don't think there's anything wrong with having "a mood". I don't think we all need to keep the mask on all the time."

In the United States, the song steadily rose on the Billboard Hot 100, eventually peaking at number two for four weeks. The song also peaked at number two in Australia and Canada and reached number six in the United Kingdom. In Australasia, at the APRA Music Awards of 1998, it won the award for Most Performed Foreign Work.

The song ranked at number 79 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s", and was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards.
