Ditto came to wider public attention in November 2006 when she was selected by NME as the coolest person in rock - placing at number one in the magazine's annual Cool List. The magazine cited her 'non-conformity' as the reason for her selection - she is a lesbian, an outspoken advocate of gay rights, and a punk.
Her debut release was the self-titled EP, "Beth Ditto", in 2011.
In 2017, her newest album "Fake Sugar" came out.
In And Out
Beth Ditto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can try me as just another day in the life
I know you're not getting the respect that you deserve
Feeling barely alive
Oh I will love like a millionaire
Living on a dollar a day
Oh (hey)
Money isn't everything
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
Hey hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
(In and out of love)
Hey hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
(In and out of love)
I wasn't born yesterday
Know I've been around a while
And no one cut me when I see it, baby
My whole world wrapped in a smile
I stuck around with my heart wide open
We made a hole and it can't be broken
They give and take what make it all work out
Hey
Heaven wasn't built in a day
Hey
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
Hey hey-ey-ey
(In and out of love)
Hey hey-ey-ey
(In and out of love)
Oh oh oh
Oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh
Oh oh yeah yeah
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
I, I do it for you
You do it for me
And we go
In and out of love
In and out of love
