If you strip me, strip it all away

Play. Replay. Play it again please. Okay, one more time. Oh, I really love it, rewind. I wouldn't mind listening to this song for the nth time only for this day and for the nth time again for the next days or weeks. Shocks, this Strip Me by Natasha Bedingfield is enchanting me! I can't help it, I listen to it again and again until I strain these ears of mind. The song is so good. The lyrics are bold, daring, courageous and tough. This is Bedingfield's 5th song that I love, the other four are Unwritten, Soulmate, Pocketful of Sunshine and Love Like This.

 

Strip Me by Natasha Bedingfield

La la la la la la
Everyday I fight for
All my future somethings
A thousand little awards
I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime
Earning things that I don’t need
That’s like chasing rainbows
And coming home empty

And if you strip me,
Strip it all away
If you strip me,
What would you find
If you strip me,
Strip it all away
Ill be alright

Chorus:
Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I’ll just scream
Im only one voice in a million
But you aint taking that from me
Oh oh no you aint taking that from me x 4

I dont need a microphone
To say what I been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
Thats always on eleven
And if you strip me,
Strip it all away

If you strip me,
What would you find
If you strip me,
Strip it all away
I’m still the same

Chorus:
Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I’ll just scream
Im only one voice in a million
But you aint taking that from me
Oh oh no you aint taking that from me x 4

Cos when it all boils down
At the end of the day
Its what you do and say
That makes you who you are
Makes you think about,
Think about it
Doesn’t it
Sometimes all it takes is one voice
