I'm proud
????(?????) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people say that I'm a stubborn girl
They tell me I'm living in another world
They say I could use a little give and take
But sometimes a habit can be hard to shake

I like attention and I like to flirt
I keep my heels digging down in the dirt!
Some call me selfish, some call me strange
But everyone knows that I will never change

Ooh, no, don't ask me why
Sometimes, I wonder why
Don't ask me why!

I'm proud I have to have my way
I drag my feet when I'm late
I'm proud I've got to get my way
It's not a question of hate

I never regret a single thing I say
I don't even care if there's a price to pay!
I take my ego with me all the way
Better watch out because it's here to stay!

Ooh, no, don't ask me why
Sometimes, I wonder why
Don't ask me why!

I'm proud I have to have my way
I drag my feet when I'm late
I'm proud I've got to get my way
It's not a question of hate

I never regret a single thing I say
I don't even care if there's a price to pay!

I'm proud I have to have my way
I drag my feet when I'm late




I'm proud I've got to get my way
It's not a question of hate

They take their ego with them everywhere they go, and they warn others to watch out because it's not going away.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the main message that the person is proud of having their way, even if it means dragging their feet and not caring about consequences. They do not regret anything they say or do, and it's not about hate, it's about not compromising their individuality.

My dad passed away the Friday before my last semester of college started. He didn't get to see me walk after supported me all my life. He didn't get to see me get my dream job. While I'm proud of myself for doing these things... it wasn't until I heard this song that It really felt like I could sense how proud of me he was of me for these things even though he isn't here anymore.

Thank you.

@jeremyhunter1776

Perhaps this song in some way is your father, having some sort of effect on this world, wanting desperately to let you know, he’s proud of you.

@Underscore330

@@jeremyhunter1776 I'm not religious by any means, but that is how I'm going to think of it. Thank you for the thought.

@vlackswan

Dad will always take care of you in your heart. And I'm really proud of you
