Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Clearly, clearly I remember
Hiking up my skirt
Asking for your time
Clearly, clearly I remember
Nervous if ever confronted
And questioning myself
Oh perhaps, perhaps if I got better
Perhaps if I challenged myself
Perhaps if I was
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Clearly, clearly I remember
Pulling up my shirt
Staring blank ahead
Clearly, clearly I remember
Days of useless crying
Almost feeling dead
Oh perhaps, perhaps if I was smaller
Perhaps, I could control myself
Perhaps if I was
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
oooooaaaah oooooaaahhh
ooooaaaah oaaa'aaah
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Clearly, clearly I remember
Hiking up my skirt
Asking for your time
Clearly, clearly I remember
Nervous if ever confronted
And questioning myself
Oh perhaps, perhaps if I got better
Perhaps if I challenged myself
Perhaps if I was
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Clearly, clearly I remember
Pulling up my shirt
Staring blank ahead
Clearly, clearly I remember
Days of useless crying
Almost feeling dead
Oh perhaps, perhaps if I was smaller
Perhaps, I could control myself
Perhaps if I was
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...
oooooaaaah oooooaaahhh
ooooaaaah oaaa'aaah
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...

"Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Uust a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there"
What girl doesn't feel weak and stupid sometimes (stronger/wiser), or cling onto others too much (less needy), or that every other girl is prettier than them (bit pretty), more aware (feeling lost in their surroundings and not being clear in what they're doing in the daily lives, or maybe even being more aware in terms of being reflexive in different situations), skinnier (God, how often I think it)...and we think if we somehow achieve in all things, we will succeed (maybe I'd get there).
clearly, clearly I remember
Hiking up my skirt
And asking for your time
I think this about feeling insecure and not feeling like you have enough self worth for a guy to appreciate you on your own merits, so you hike up your skirt and attempt to use that kind of persuasion to get a guy's attention.
Clearly, clearly I remember
Nervous if ever confronted
And questioning myself
I think this is about that insecure nervous reaction you get when someone confronts you and all of a sudden you think whether you really are worth nothing.
Oh perhaps, perhaps if I got better
Perhaps if I challenged myself
Perhaps if I was...
I think this is like, maybe if I had just made myself better through challenging myself, maybe I'd be a better person.
"hiking up my skirt" so he will stay with her.
She wished she was just a little wiserm prettier, and all those other things so she would be secure,
and so that she would treat herself with more respect so she wouldn't have to be slutty to keep a guy.
Its a really good song.
Maybe if I was a little thinner, a little better, a little more fill-in-the-blank, he'd want me back, y'know?
So I can definately understand both meanings. =]
when i listen to the song i think it fits well.
i think its about feeling pressured to have sex or do sexual things. and about feeling that the only way you'll be loved is if you do it. you can tell shes feeling guilty about doing it, but she continues becuase she doesnt know what else to do.
Just a little bit stronger
Just a little bit wiser
Uust a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there
if she was srtogner she wouldnt need to be loved by people who pressure her. if she was wiser she would do what she knows it right. if she wasn't so needy for everyone to love her.
Just a little bit pretty
Just a little more aware
Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there
she thinks that if she was a little bit pretty and a little bit thinner then she wouldnt need to do sexual things to make guys like her. she thinks they would then like her for the way she looks and that would be enough.
clearly, clearly I remember
Hiking up my skirt
And asking for your time
hiking up her skirt... well... duh
Clearly, clearly I remember
ervous if ever confronted
And questioning myself
this is where her guilt comes in. she questions herself because she knows its wrong.. but she wants to be loved.
Clearly, clearly I remember
Pulling up my shirt
And staring blank ahead
well.. this is obvious
Clearly, clearly I remember
Days of useless crying
And almost feeling dead
when you do something like that you feel dead and useless and well, you cry a lot. you feel really empty...
maybe. MAYBE this song is about an eating disorder. but i don't think so. i think its about feeling the need to do sexual things to get attention and to feel loved.
and by the way this is coming from someone who knows inside feelings about BOTH things (eating disorder side and the sexual side)
just because it says "just a little bit thinner" doesnt mean she is talking about an eating disorder.
just because it says "just a little bit thinner" doesnt mean she is talking about an eating disorder.
sorry heathurryo, its not.
it is about her eating disorder.
Love?
wtf. your all wrong.
"clearly, clearly I remember
Hiking up my skirt
And asking for your time"
ITS CLEARLY ABOUT HER BEING A PROSTITUE!!!!
AND SHE WANTS TO CHANGEE WHO SHE IS!
