Quotes[edit]

  • When I first appeared, people couldn't figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.
    • "Philly girl". Interview with Barbara Ellen, www.theguardian.com. June 4, 2006. [1]
  • Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.
    • "Philly girl". Interview with Barbara Ellen, www.theguardian.com. June 4, 2006. [2]
  • I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter—what a joke. Every time I had to do a report or a debate in school, I would research the topic of animal rights. I was horrified to find the cruelty and pain that they were forced to endure at our hands. … I aspire to have a lot of land one day, where I will rescue and board many animals.

Song lyrics[edit]

  • That's when you can build a bridge of light.
    That's what turns the wrong so right.
    That's when you can't give up the fight.

    That's when love turns nighttime into day.
    That's when loneliness goes away.
    That's when you gotta be strong tonight.
    Only love can build us a bridge of light.

Missundaztood (2001)[edit]

  • When I'm happy I am sad, but everything's good
    It's not that complicated, I'm just misunderstood.
  • I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch.
    I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me itch.
    I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's bein' a little bitch.
    I think I'll get outta here, where I can

    Run, just as fast as I can,
    To the middle of nowhere,
    To the middle of my frustrated fears.
    And I swear, you're just like a pill.
    Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill.
    You keep makin' me ill.

  • Get this party started on a Saturday night,
    Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive.
    Sendin' out the message to all of my friends,
    We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz.
    I got lotsa style, got my gold diamond rings,
    I can go for miles if you know what I mean.
    I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started.
    I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started.
  • You fight about money, 'bout me and my brother.
    And this I come home to, this is my shelter.
    It ain't easy growin' up in World War III,
    Never knowin what love could be, you'll see.
    I don't want love to destroy me like it has done my family.

Try This (2003)[edit]

  • No attorneys
    To plead my case.
    No orbits
    To send me into outta space.
    And my fingers
    Are bejeweled
    With diamonds and gold.
    But that ain't gonna help me now.
  • I've been the girl with her skirt pulled high,
    Been the outcast never running with mascara eyes.
    I see the world as a candy store
    With a cigarette smile saying things you can't ignore.
  • Why was I the last to know
    That you weren't coming to my show?
    You coulda called me up to say good luck,
    You coulda called me back, you stupid f*ck.
  • How many times have you sat across from me?
    And how many times have you told me you were leaving?
    I'm not trying to listen cuz it's all the same.
    And why, why are you constantly believing
    That I, I could ever give you what you needed?
    Baby, baby please don't put your faith in me.

I'm Not Dead (2006)[edit]

  • Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back.
    What a Paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl.
    Baby if I act like that, flipping my blond hair back,
    Push up my bra like that. I don't wanna be a stupid girl.
  • If someone said three years from now
    You'd be long gone,
    I'd stand up and punch them up,
    Cause they're all wrong.
    I know better,
    'Cause you said forever,
    And ever.
    Who knew.
  • Baby,
    Oh the secret's safe with me.
    There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be.
    And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone?
    Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
    And I've lost my way back home?
    I think nobody knows, no.
    I said nobody knows.
    Nobody cares.

    It's win or lose, not how you play the game.
    And the road to darkness has a way
    Of always knowing my name.
    But I think nobody knows,
    No no.
    Nobody knows, no no no no.

  • Dear Mr. President,
    Come take a walk with me.
    Let's pretend we're just two people
    And you're not better than me.
    I'd like to ask you some questions
    If we can speak honestly.

    What do you feel when you see
    All the homeless on the street?
    Who do you pray for at night
    Before you go to sleep?
    What do you feel
    When you look in the mirror?
    Are you proud?

  • Go away,
    Give me a chance to miss you.
    Say goodbye,
    It'll make me want to kiss you.
    I love you so
    Much more when you're not here,
    Watchin all the bad shows,
    Drinking all of my beer.

    I don't believe Adam and Eve
    Spent every goddamn day together.
    If you give me some room, there will be room enough for two.

  • I'm not here for your entertainment.
    You don't really want to mess with me tonight.
    Just stop and take a second.
    I was fine before you walked into my life.
    'Cause you know it's over
    Before it began.
    Keep your drink, just give me the money.
    It's just you and your hand tonight.

Funhouse (2008)[edit]

  • So, so what?
    I'm still a rock star,
    I got my rock moves,
    And I don't need you.
    And guess what,
    I'm having more fun.
    And now that were done,
    I'm gonna show you tonight
    I'm alright,
    I'm just fine.
    And you're a tool.
    So, so what?
    I am a rock star,
    I got my rock moves.
    And I don't want you tonight.
  • I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence;
    The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth.
    • Sober
  • No I don't believe you
    When you say don't come around here no more.
    I want to remind you,
    You said we wouldn't be apart.
    No, I don't believe you
    When you say you don't need me anymore.
    So don't pretend
    To not love me at all.
  • How did I become so obnoxious?
    What is it with you that makes me act like this?
    I've never been this nasty.
    Can't you tell that this is just a contest?,br>The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest.
    But baby I don't mean it.
    I mean it, I promise.
  • Alright sir,
    Sure I'll have another one, it's early.
    Three olives, shake it up, I like it dirty (dirty).
    Tequila for my friend it makes her flirty (flirty).
    Trust me.
    I'm the instigator of underwear,
    Showing up here and there uh oh (oh no).
    I'm always on a mission from the get go.
    So what if it's only 1 o'clock in the afternoon?
    It's never too soon to send out all the invitations to the last night (of your life).
  • This used to be a funhouse,
    But now it's full of evil clowns.
    It's time to start the countdown.
    I'm gonna burn it down down down;
    I'm gonna burn it down.
  • Have you ever fed a lover
    With just your hands?
    Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it.
    Have you ever thrown
    A fist full of glitter in the air?
    Have you ever looked fear in the face,
    And said I just don't care?

Greatest Hits... So Far!!! (2010)[edit]

  • So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways,
    All my underdogs.
    We will never be, never be anything but loud
    And "Nitty-Gritty",
    Dirty little freaks.
    Won't you come and come and
    Raise your glass!
    Just come on and come on and
    Raise your glass.
  • Pretty pretty please,
    Don't you ever ever feel
    Like you're less than
    f*ckin' perfect?
    Pretty pretty please,
    If you ever ever feel
    Like you're nothing,
    You're f*ckin' perfect to me.

The Truth About Love (2012)[edit]

  • I think I've finally had enough;
    I think I maybe think too much.
    I think this might be it for us
    (blow me one last kiss).
    You think I'm just too serious;
    I think you're full of sh*t.
    My head is spinning so
    (blow me one last kiss).
    Just when I think it can't get worse,
    I've had a sh*t day (no!)
    You've had a sh*t day (no!)
    We've had a sh*t day (no!).
    I think that life's too short for this;
    I'll pack my ignorance and bliss.
    I think I've had enough of this.
    Blow me (one last kiss).
  • Where there is desire,
    There is gonna be a flame.
    Where there is a flame,
    Someone’s bound to get burned.
    But just because it burns
    Doesn’t mean you’re gonna die.
    You’ve gotta get up and try, try, try.
  • Just give me a reason,
    Just a little bit's enough.
    Just a second we're not broken just bent
    And we can learn to love again.
    It's in the stars;
    It's been written in the scars on our hearts.
    We're not broken just bent,
    And we can learn to love again.
  • True love, true love.
    It must be true love.
    Nothing else can break my heart like
    True love, true love.
    It must be true love.
    No one else can break my heart like you.
  • One step, two steps, counting tiles on the floor;
    Three steps, four steps, guess this means that I'm a whor*.
    Uh-oh, hell no, how long till I reach the door?
    f*ck me, my feet are sore.

    I'm wearing last night's dress and I look like a hot ass mess.
    Although my hair looks good cause I haven't slept yet!
