"Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man I showed him all the things that he didn't understand Whoa, and then I let him go

Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name 'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK Hey, hey, until I made my getaway

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me 'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep One, two, three, they gonna run back to me They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave"

This one's all about the girl tricking herself into feeling ok with the fact that all these dudes kicked her to the curb. It's over compensation for the fact that she's a chump, who was being used.

"Gonna wear that dress you like, skin-tight Do my hair up real, real nice And syncopate my skin to your heart beating

'Cause I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh Let me show you how proud I am to be yours Leave this dress a mess on the floor And still look good for you, good for you, uh-huh"

This one shows female blindness to the AF/BB dynamic, as it so clearly goes against everything I've ever been taught about how a woman should think of herself.

"I eat my dinner in my bathtub Then I go to sex clubs Watching freaky people gettin' it on It doesn't make me nervous If anything I'm restless Yeah, I've been around and I've seen it all"

"Staying in my play pretend Where the fun ain't got no end Ooh Can't go home alone again Need someone to numb the pain Ooh"

This one is pretty clearly about a girl that developed really strong feelings for a guy, who she no longer sees. That's what we know. I'm going to assume it has to do with her giving him too much of herself, in the expectation that he would similarly commit.

"Bed, stay in bed The feeling of your skin locked in my head Smoke, smoke me broke I don't care I'm down for what you want

Day drunk into the night Wanna keep you here Cause you dry my tears Yeah, summer lovin' and fights How it is for us And it's all because

Now if we're talking body You got a perfect one So put it on me Swear it won't take you long If you love me right [Explicit:] We fuck for life [Clean:] We love for life On and on and on"

This one shows, simultaneously, how upset women can be with our new world, and how they don't understand, or more likely refuse to accept, that this makes them unattractive. Like he's there to dry your tears, from what? And why would a dude want someone who's a wreck over someone else, or at least guilt ridden about their meaningless interpersonal relationships with anyone with the right bod because it didn't take long (read as getting to know them) to give them what they wanted.

"This is my fight song (Hey!) Take back my life song (Hey!) Prove I'm alright song (Hey!) My power's turned on Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong) I'll play my fight song And I don't really care if nobody else believes 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me"

This song could easily be about genuine struggles, maybe even about her career as an artist. But it wreaks of this self righteous blindness that infests our culture. Take back your life from whom? Who did you give that much power to. Prove you're alright why? To move past it? Your "power"? What sort of nonsense!
And then the kicker, not caring about what others think! I mean my god yea don't get your validation there, but doubting objective reality. Discounting constructive criticism. My arguments a little weak here because she could be talking about anything and some of it isn't the worst advice. But insecure, weak-willed, sheep dont take good advice to heart. They just parrot it as excuses.

"I'll take it nice and slow Feeling good on my own without you, yeah Got me speaking in tongues The beautiful, it comes without you, yeah

I'm gonna put my body first And love me so hard 'til it hurts I know how to scream out the words Scream the words

(I love me) Gonna love myself, no, I don't need anybody else (Hey) Gonna love myself, no, I don't need anybody else (I love me) Can't help myself, no, I don't need anybody else Anytime, day or night"

This one demonstrates someone who is in those subsequent stages of denial. She's accepted that someone has left her, but is under the impression that exclaiming how she can handle the workload of a job she so desperately needs done, without this person, doesn't show how fragile and dependent she is, and in fact exudes independence and worth.
