Stepford Destiny's Child

Ladies and gentlemen, courtesy of my friend Michael, this heinous little ditty from Destiny's Child:

Baby, I see you workin' hard
Wanna let you know that I'm proud
Wanna let you know I admire what you do
Don't know if I need to reassure you
My life would be purposeless without you
If I want it (you got it)
If I ask you (you provide it)
You inspire me to be better (ooh)
You challenge me for the better (ooh, ooh)
Sit back and let me pour out my love letter
[Beyonce]Let me help you take off your shoes
Untie your shoe strings [he can't even take off his own shoes??]
take off your cufflinks
What you wanna eat Boo, let me feed you
Let me run your bath water
Whatever you desire,
I'll aspire
Sing you a song,
turn my game on
I'll brush your hair, help you put your do-rag on [most unintentionally funny line in the whole thing]
Wanna foot rub, want a manicure Baby,
I'm yours I wanna cater to you [chorus]
Let me cater to you
Cause baby, this is your day
Do anything for my man
Baby, you blow me away
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want
I wanna cater to you
Inspire me from the heart
Can't nothing tear us apart
You're all I want in a man
I put my life in your hands
I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert
And so much more, anything you want I wanna cater to you

[Kelly]Baby, I'm happy you're home
Let my hold you in my arms
I just wanna take the stress away from you
Makin' sure your that I'm doing my part
Boy, is there something you need me to do
If you want (I got it)
Just say the word I (I'ma try it) [Michael says: "Basically...she is saying that she will take it up the butt"]
And whatever I'm not fulfillin'
No other woman is willing
I'm gonna fulfill you, my body and spirit I promise ya,
I keep myself up
Remain the same chick you fell in love with
I'll keep it tight, [awww!!c'mon!! TMI!!] keep my figure right
I'll keep my hair fixed, rockin' the hottest outfits
When you come home late, tap me on my shoulder
I'll roll over Baby [I just threw up a little in my mouth]
I heard you, I'm here to serve you If it's love you need, to give it is my joy
All I wanna do
Is cater to you, boy [chorus]


Wow. What an anthem to true partnership. Isn't this just what you want on your teen daughter's I-pod??

Lucy Liu... with my girl, Drew... Cameron D. and Destiny
Charlie's Angels, Come on
Uh uh uh

Question: Tell me what you think about me
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave
Question: Tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me boy you get dismissed
Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
Always 50/50 in relationships

The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
I've bought it
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me
(I depend on me)

All the women who are independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that

Tell me how you feel about this
Who would I want if I would wanna live
I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get
Ladies, it ain't easy bein' independent
Question: How'd you like this knowledge that I brought
Braggin' on that cash that he gave you is to front
If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt
Depend on noone else to give you what you want

The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
I've bought it
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me
(I depend on me)


(etc, etc, etc)

They must be a very confused band, which actually, I can totally believe.

Ack, you're right! They've gone from sassy independence in stilletos to lying around the house doing kegel exercises and waiting to fix their man's do-rag. SAD, children. Very sad.

OMG. That is not what "keep it tight" means. I couldn't tell if you really thought it did, or were just making a funny. Just in case ....

I knew it prolly wasn't that but the rest of the song is so grossly subservient that I thought it came close ENOUGH. And now that I'm out of the inner city I'm so behind on the lingo. What the hey DOES it mean?

Keeping it tight just means to keep things ready, keep things great and good. For example, you might say someone is "Tight like that" and it just means that they are good or really awesome.
