"What Goes Around Comes Around" - Justin Timberlake
"Damn, why can't you just give in and let me win?! Why does it have to be an eye for an eye?" - Them
I'm not sure if I've always had such thick skin. Actually, I think I was a bit of a pu$$y back then, but I'm just not sure how far back when. It seems that I've earned my stars with the men and surprisingly, they're smitten about me being a smarta$$. Go figure. What's even funnier is that I'm not trying hard at all. I'm being myself...the self that most of my friends advised me not to be. Here's a good example.
I went out with this adorable, fun-loving, loves-to-have-fun couple this passed Thursday. (I've been going out a lot with the holiday season approaching. It's about that time for me to be as far away from my memories as possible). Anyway, my friend's boyfriend was one of the nominees for the Los Angeles Music Awards and I was one of their plus ones at this red carpet event so I went. I got all decked out and made the best of a long evening, which fortunately ended with him winning! Exciting things always happen to them that it's seriously unbelievable. Later, we went out for drinks (yes, I do this now) and had a conversation about "energy." I asked them just how do they do it? How does good vibes find its way to them? They both strongly believe that one should give off what they want to feel in return. My friend has never said anything bad about her boyfriend to others because she doesn't want people to have a negative perception of him. I see their point and by the look of things, they've obviously proven it. So, I promised I'd give it a try.
This is harder than it looks. I didn't even last half a day the next day without talking sh*t. I can't help it. People pay attention when I tell my sad stories. What can I say? I've been through the ringer so I'd rather they laugh with me to make me feel like it was actually funny. The point is I have to try to be nice and think positively in hopes to receive nice and positive things in return. But it's so much easier being a smarta$$ with a sharp tongue. Low and behold, most of the guys I've emailed, talked to, and gone out with find it "refreshing" that I can dish out with the best of them. I guess I had to learn this quickly over time considering...
Thing is, does this mean that I'm just gonna be a casual gal who can kick it? I mean, will I cross over to the "just friends" category cuz I understand football (well somewhat), curse at boxing (well mainly at Manny), and pretty much hate what the NBA is doing? Do I now stand further away from romance because I believe in women's lib? Wtf?! Can I get a balance up in here? Or is really that cut and dry? I feel like I'm writing yet another one of my "Sex and the City" columns. I'm not saying that guys are bluntly telling me that they're not interested. I mean, they're asking for more dates so that's good, but I'm also not sure if giving them the ok to act like guys is the way to go either. I like it when they're nervous and fidget with their words to try to impress me. I like the gentleman gestures, but c'mon. They don't have to stop it once they find out that I'm not as traditional... though I won't lie to them by saying I cook, love to be a homemaker and don't like to overstep my boundaries. You've got to be kidding me.
So, what is the right way because I've tried it all. I did everything for a man and at one point, allowed a man to do mostly everything for me (although I was only a teenager then). Neither worked out. Should I give in again or should I continue to jab at them because they're liking it? I don't know, but I'm noticing that I'm not too fond of the constant smarta$$, yet the ones that tell me they're affectionate and a bit of a pushover have yet to make it to the first date. Does "What goes around really come back around?" Because if this is the case, I don't even know what to throw around anymore.
Lyrics:
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong
Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cuz I know that you're living a lie
That's ok baby cuz in time you will find...
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong
Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cuz I know that you're living a lie
That's ok baby cuz in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?
Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cuz I know that you're living a lie
But that's ok baby cuz in time you will find
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
Let me paint this picture for you, baby
You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes
When you cheated girl
My heart bleeded girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved
And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right
But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
See?
You should've listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around)
