It's is a very bad idea to listen to lyrics.

Dear Mary J Blige

What does a man buying a woman material things have to do with her falling in love with him and him treating her like a woman? Since when were love, identity, and sexuality for sale? Since when could they be bought with shoes and a bag?

Also wth is up "Now I only want to do what you tell me to." Like? What the hell? Who owns your sexuality here? Or is this more about a woman's place? Huh?

**feels ridiculous for having the music for going on 2 years now and only just having the lyrics pop out**

Ok. I'm gong to bed. I must have my head screwed on wrong. Cause I'm all "Shake down, I'm robbing you for your love, don't put up a fight." Just keeps making me go WHAT THE BLEEPING F*CK??.

So clearly it is not that the world is filled with messed up messages about human interaction and just that my brain's wired weird and somehow sleep will fix that. Or maybe just closing my eyes and being horizontal.

It's magic.

A page full of Hallelujah. Or rather covers of the song.


I'm particularly fond of Rufus Wrainright's and kd lang's.
