I am
Doll eyes
Doll mouth
Doll legs
I am
Doll arms
Big veins
Dog beg
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
They really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
But I do too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday, you will ache like I ache
I am
Doll parts
Bad skin
Doll heart
It stands for knife
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
They really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
But I do, too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things
Because he loves to see them break
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache you like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday, you will ache like I ache
Doll eyes
Doll mouth
Doll legs
I am
Doll arms
Big veins
Dog beg
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
They really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
But I do too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday, you will ache like I ache
I am
Doll parts
Bad skin
Doll heart
It stands for knife
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
They really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you
But I do, too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things
Because he loves to see them break
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache you like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday, you will ache like I ache

i have never felt so connected to an artist's lyrics as much as courtney's. she just speaks to me...
It has the same foreshadowing connotations as Nirvana's Come As You Are ("and I swear that I don't have a gun") with "Some day you will ache like I ache". I never subscribed to the conspiracy theory that she killed him, but then I hear this song again....
She's feeling like she's being treated like just another placeholder for Kurt's selfish needs, just a physical object with no real feelings that can be hurt. She talks about how she wants to be the center of attention and treated like a star instead. When I read that she revealed the song to be about Kurt, it made sense that she was jealous of his groupies and upset about how he acted. I get chills down my spine when she says that someday he'll hurt as bad as she does, and she clearly feels so hurt that she feels like she died (the music says this more than the lyrics). Kurt's suicide has been the center of controversy ever since it happened, and it makes you wonder if her jealousy had maybe taken control over her to the point of orchestrating his death. Stranger things have happened... this is more depressing and creepy than anything.
Throughout the whole song you get the sense that she's attacking herself because she feels unworthy and empty (like a doll), hence the "bad skin", "big veins", and other bodily criticisms. She takes it a step further by blaming herself for wanting and expecting too much ("I want to be the girl with the most cake"), and although she can pretend all she wants ("I fake it so real I am beyond fake"), there's still that inner turmoil and loneliness seething inside her.
The "someday you will ache like I ache" is kind of like wishful thinking, like she's telling herself that her emptiness and pain will someday be felt by those who in the current moment are fulfilled.
It's really, really sad, and I think the reason that it remains one of Hole's most popular songs is because it perfectly describes an almost-universal feeling: the feeling of being alone, and desperately wanting someone by your side.
She thought Kurt cheated on her and was hurt by this, so she wrote this song about how she was in love with him and how he just rejected her for some poser girl.
And it's Dog Beg not Dog Bait. Courtney stated the line was about a dog begging for food.
This song, in particular, has a major difference: instead of 'I love him so much it just turns to hate', it's 'I love him so much it just turns to rape'. Personally, I think that augments her desperation even more so and the word 'rape' has such a violent connotation on its own. It's curious as to what she meant by 'love' - physically or emotionally?
Absolutely brilliant song, nevertheless.
also, if the album was released 4 days after kurt's death then it was definitely recorded long before then. it has nothing to do with his death, it's about their relationship with each other and with the public.
someday you will ache like i ache. she's bitter. she wants him to ache. and someday he may have. i'd say that she was proven right, but not in the way she intended.
and as far as the courtney killing kurt thing goes. she didn't shoot him. but if this song is any indication, their private relationship may not have been very healthy. it's hard to be in a relationship with somebody who's envious of you and bitter about what you have. and it may have factored into his decision. but we'll never know for sure.
The lyrics are just so sad. I think Courtney wrote this about Kurt...
