Bitchy
Phi Phi O'hara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think you know what I am about?
Now you'll see the real me.
Nobody ever handed me a thing
Not a break, not a favor not a dream.
Nobody ever thought that I could win
But I proved I'm tougher than I seem.
Got no time waiting for the world to care. Just hit this spotlight and I'll get you there.
But I get what I want
You can call me pushy
But I'm here and you're not
You can call me oh no she didn't but you know that tonight,
I'm begining it right, right oh... I'm begining it right, right oh
No one ever taught me how to be strong, I make my own goals as I go along. Gonna gonna keep singing my song, when it feels so right, it can't be wrong. I had to find the will to break the wall, they say I'd fall but now i'm standing tall.
You can call me bitchy
But I get what I want
You can call me pushy
But I'm here and you're not
You can call me oh
No she didn't but you know that tonight
I'm begining it right, right
Bitchy
But you're playing with fire
You can call me crazy
But at least I'm a fighter
You can call me oh oh
But you know that tonight
I'm begining it
I give you something you can not ignore
I leave you begging, wanting more oh oh
So place yourself and take your seat and watch me roar
Watch me oh oh oh yeah
Right right oh
I'm begining it, right right oh oh
You can call me bitchy, honey,
Call me what you want, i'll keep making that money (i'm begining it)
You can call me crazy, baby
But you can't help but
Love me love me
You can call me bitchy
But i get what i want
You can call me pushy
But i'm here and you're not
You can call me oh
No she didn't but you know that tonight
I'm begining it right, right
Bitchy
But you playing with fire
You can call me crazy
But at least I'm a fighter
You can call me oh oh
But you know that tonight
I'm begining it right right oh oh
I'm begining it right right oh oh
I'm begining it right

Incredible!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I never expected such a genuinely good song! The music, the vocals - all so in point!
I assumed that this would be another generic Drag Queen club-song. But it's so much more. It's a genuinely great tune, perfectly viable and able to realistically make a huge impact in mainstream music. Can very much imagine listening to this in the radio and see it doing it well in the charts.
Absolute huge respect. I am blown away in every way possible!!
I really, really, really enjoyed this., I can't emphasize just how much I love this song.
I also love how Miss O'Hara fires back at her critics and haters in the most elegant and dignified way possible. No hate, not childish dialogue: Just an amazing, empowering song.
I am so, so proud of you. :')
@kristielanore969
Love her or hate her, you gotta admit the bitch has talent and is absolutely gorgeous in and out of drag.
@KhemaySekhmet
Yes auto tune ... gives anyone talent
@kristielanore969
Rico KhemaySekhmet Zaaiman watch some of her covers... without auto tune.... still sounds AMAZING
@JennasMusic76
Say what you will.. Phi-Phi is talented! This is a great song, good vocals, catchy, and just plain good!
@wveso
Her and Sharon are literally friends. The 'shade' that they throw nowadays isn't real shade. They even said that the fights on season 4 were only for the camera and they were friendly off camera. Can you Sharon stans stop being so horrible lmao.
@emmabarry8592
No. Phi Phi said one of the fights was staged, which Sharon later denied.
Why would Phi Phi purposefully make herself look like a terrible person and then after she sees it, say it was fake?
Phi Phi is awful about Sharon and Alyssa in the clubs, in interviews e.t.c., she tries to make them look bad by spreading lies. I don't like her.
@conEH3ad
Jordan Wade no, the producers set her up and her and Sharon agreed to act to get to the top 3
@Timriah
LOVE THIS SONG!!! And I love you Phi Phi <3 I never jumped on the "hate Phi Phi" bandwagon. You were and are and always will be amazing!!!
@carmenls2
I'm addicted to this song. Up there with the best vocal queens. Courtney, Willam, adore
@princessamber7166
I think adore is better
