296 - Betting Wrong Fanmix
betting wrong
a mix for independent girls who refuse to be used as arm candy, yet that's all they're ever considered when dating someone. a mix for girls who thought he'd be different. a mix for girls who know they're more than a pretty smile.
[01] One Of The Boys | Katy Perry
Cuz I don't want to be/One of the boys/One of the guys/Just give me a chance/To prove to you/I'm neither/I just wanna be/One of the girls/So pretty in pearl/Not one of the boys
girls like being friends with guys. but they also would like one to fall for them.
[02] This Girl Is Taking Bets | Thea Gilmore
This girl is the flutter of fake lashes in the mirror/She's a ragged edged fedora or a Spanish souvenir/This girl is the clean cut, she's the frozen ground /She's a knife drawn down the side street when there's no-one else around
girls like to play hard to get.
[03] Asking Too Much | Ani DiFranco
I want somebody who can hold my interest/hold it and never let it fall/Someone who can flatten me with a kiss/that hits like a fist/…/I want someone who's not afraid of me/or anyone else/In other words I want someone/Who's not afraid of themselves/Do you think I'm asking too much?
girls have every right to ask more out of men.
[04] Books Written For Girls | Camera Obscura
You can compliment me on the style of my hair/Give me marks out of ten for the clothes I wear/You probably thought I had more upstairs/I disappoint you, I can see through your perfect smile
girls don't like being wooed by pretty words. but get wooed anyways.
[05] I Lost All My Money At The Cockfights | Minus The Bear
All the boys are begging for her/Reaching long to grab her clothes to/Pull her in every direction and/Throw some game that won't win/This girl, she's looking at me/A glance over then down at her drink/I think she's got the right idea/I think she's got the right idea
they are looking for a man that is different from the others.
[06] Portions for Foxes | Rilo Kiley
There's a pretty young thing in front of you/And she's real pretty/And she's real into you/And then she's sleeping inside of you/And the talking leads to touching/And the touching leads to sex/And then there is no mystery left/And it's bad news, I don't blame you/I do the same thing, I get lonely too
men like doing stuff. girls do too.
[07] Headlock | Imogen Heap
You say too late to start got your heart in a headlock/I don't believe any of it/You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock/You know you're better than this
when things go wrong, people turn a blind eye
[08] Again & Again | Bird and the Bee
Say my name, say my name/Say my stupid name/It's stupid how we always seem to do it again, oh oh/You're so stupid and perfect/And stupid and perfect/I hate you, I want you/I hate you, I hate you/Oh oh, again, again, again
humans like routine. even if they know its wrong.
[09] Tiny Vessels | Death Cab For Cutie
So when you ask "was something wrong?"/That I think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now. No, we can't talk about it now."/So one last touch and then you'll go/And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more/But it was vile, and it was cheap/And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
girls like it when guys like it when guys are honest. unless that honesty comes too late.
[10] Still Can’t - The Cranberries
Still can't recognize the way I feel/Nothing of what you said to me was real/And you still can't find the strength/To apologize/You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies.
girls don't like to believe they were duped.
[11] 1234 - Feist
Oh, you’re changing your heart/Oh, you know who you are/For the teenage boys/They’re breaking your heart
girls get over men. eventually.
[12] Not A Pretty Girl - Ani DiFranco
I am not a pretty girl/that is not what I do/I ain't no damsel in distress/And I don't need to be rescued/So put me down punk/Maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair/Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
girls move on. they don't need someone in their life to be happy.
bonus;
[00] Picture To Burn | Taylor Swift
State the obvious/I didn't get my perfect fantasy/I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me/So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy/That's fine; I'll tell mine your gay
this didn't fit the tone of the fanmix. but the lyrics still fit the theme.
