do i have to get annoyed before getting it?

on my own
whitney houston

i'm wiser now
i'm not the foolish girl you used to know so long ago
i'm stronger now
i've learned from my mistakes which way to go
and i should know
i put myself aside to do it your way
but now i need to do it all alone

and i am not afraid to try it on my own
i don't care if i'm right or wrong
i'll live my life the way i feel
no matter what i'll keep it real you know
time for me to do it on my own

it's over now
i can't go back to living through your eyes.. too many lies
and if you don't know by now
i can't go back to being someone else.. not anymore
i never had a chance to do things my way
so now it's time for me to take control

and i am not afraid to try it on my own
i don't care if i'm right or wrong
i'll live my life the way i feel
no matter what i'm gonna keep it real you know
time for me to do it

oh i start again, go back to one
i'm running things my way
can't stop me now, i've just begun
don't even think about it
there ain't no way about it
i'm taking names, the ones of mine
yes i'm gonna take my turn
it's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone

i am not afraid to try it on my own
and i don't care if i'm right or wrong
i'll live my life the way i feel
no matter what i'm gonna keep it real you know
it's time for me to do it
see i'm not afraid

this song has been bugging me the entire day. and it's weird, coz i didn't even hear it playing on the radio! sheesh. so i figure i'd search for the lyrics.. post it in this blog.. and hopefully my mind will finally be rid of it. (everytime i hear this i keep remembering another annoying song - also by whitney houston - that goes "and ah-ah-yay.. will always loooove you-hoo-hoo-ooh-ah-ah-yay.. will always looove you-hoo-hoo.." UGH.)

well, i read the lyrics and what do you know.. haha. turns out it's one of those goofy-sounding songs with quotable lyrics. so. i don't care whether you hate this tune as much as i do or not. i think it's worth posting here - if only for the lyrics.

guess i'm fated to keep getting messages from weird sources bwahahahaha..
