Fergie, Big Girls Don’t Cry
Category: Music

I hear this song everyday at work and it drives me nuts!!

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, Myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
Its time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry


"This has nothing to do with you"  Whew, what a relief.
"We've got some straightenin' out to do"  Damn! If it's all YOU what's
with this WE shit!!!??  

Why couldn't they just change "we" to "I," or is the song one of those, "there's
something wrong and you have to figure it out," type deals. Where Fergie is
just being a big B*?

PLAIN WHITE T'-SHIRT LYRICS

"Hey There Delilah"

HEY!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!
HEY!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!

Hey there Delilah

What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand F* miles away
But girl, tonight you look so hot on my cellphone
Yeh you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's f*in true

(guitar solo)

HEY!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!
HEY!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'll be right there if you get horny
Give this song another f*in listen
Close your eyes
F*in listen to my voice, it's all I can give
I'm by your side

What the f* you do to me!?
What the f* you do to me!?
How could this be?
Your the greatest beauty I can see!
What the f* you do to me!?

HEY!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!
HEY!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting f*in hard
But just believe me, girl
I'll make lots of money with my guitar and singing hard
We'll have it great!
We'll have the life we always should
So just you wait!!

HEY!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!
HEY! HEY! HEY!!

Hey there Delilah
I've still got a lot to f*in say
Every song I wrote to you
Should take your breath away
I love you true

What the f* you do to me!?
What the f* you do to me!?
How could this be?
Your the greatest beauty I can see!
What the f* you do to me!?

You're two years away and 2 thousand miles
Still I see your picture and my frowns all turn to smiles

Even trying to make this song heavy metal it just seems really whiny. I mean it
is a sad song. Distance of time and space isn't exactly happy, but does it have to
be whiny? I guess my real problem is this guy telling his girl he's going to make it
big as a whiny little rock star. If I was to write a song like this it'd be more when we
get together what it'll be like and the future being awesome. "Good" just doesn't cut
it for me.

Reading Delilah now makes me think it's more of a speed metal song than heavy metal. Thank God I no longer hear these songs on the radio or at work :)
