I'm proud
Berenice 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

Bérénice, donne-nous de tes nouvelles !!!

Eva Lind

C'est assez incroyable, elle avait fait un super album puis complètement disparue. Pourtant, beaucoup de talent. Peut-être a t-elle voulu arrêter?
