Shocking Sayings

I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams.

The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama. But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma.

And karma's not a liar, she keeps receipts.

I'd be complex, I'd be cool. They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to. And that would be okay for me to do.

Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you. I'd be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type. When everyone believes ya, what's that like?

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man.

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again, 'cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man.

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars and getting bitches and models? And it's all good if you're bad and it's okay if you're mad.

You know, I went out on a normal amount of dates in my early 20s, and I got absolutely slaughtered for it.
