Melanie C - Next Best Superstar (Music Video)
“Since I got older, I’m more in a competition with myself. I’m my own biggest rival.”
Melanie C
Take your pleasure
Do you feel I should say goodbye?
That will not be necessary
Here’s the reason why
Because your dreams of my premature demise will be overshadowed
By the truth you cannot hide
It seems simple to me that revenge ain’t so sweet
Twisted turned you so ugly
You take your pleasure from my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain
Your desire to obliterate my world isn’t gonna happen
That’s not what I deserve
With the belief that you bullied out of me
Did it satisfy you? Did it make you feel complete?
I would rather be free, keep my integrity
There’s no price that’s the bottom line
You take your pleasure from my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain
Say what you want, it’s all in vain
It will be falling on deaf ears again
Say what you like this is my life
You don’t understand what I need to survive
You take your pleasure from my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain
You take your pleasure from my pain
Inflict your damage
I expect your delusion is part of you hating yourself
So take your pleasure from my pain
So take your pleasure from my pain
So take your pleasure from my pain
So take your pleasure from my pain

Melanie C - “Cruel Intentions” from Think About It Single, 2011
“When we were together in 2007 for a long time again, it reminded us of the good times we had in the beginning of the Spice Girls and why we liked each other. That feeling didn’t stop till today. We see each other regularly. We even celebrate our children’s birthdays together.”
Melanie C about the Spice Girls today.
Enemy
Caught in the chaos of life
Didn’t know my own mind, did you?
Could you feel me drifting away?
If you did you didn’t say, did you?
Locked in a world of your own
Beyond my control, somehow
Couldn’t hear what I’m trying to say
You wouldn’t listen anyway, not now
We never really took the time
Only want to make it right
I wish I didn’t but I miss you
If the lines are drawn
And the flags unfurl would you fight for me?
Or would you be my enemy?
When the conflict calls
In this tug of war
Will you be my strength?
Or would you be my enemy?
If I lose my way
On this battle ground
Will you reach for me?
Or would you be my enemy?
Be my enemy
If the lines are drawn
And the flags unfurl would you fight for me?
Or would you be my enemy?
Be my enemy
I can breathe without you by my side
I believed everything we did was right
I can heal this is just another fight
Another fight
We never really took the time
Only want to make it right
I wish I didn’t but I miss you
Everything I wanted to be
got buried in history, like you
Be my enemy, be my enemy
If the lines are drawn
And the flags unfurl would you fight for me?
Or would you be my enemy?
Be my enemy
When the conflict calls
In this tug of war
Will you be my strength?
Or would you be my enemy?
Be my enemy
The scars run deep but I’m gaining ground
In this gift to me there’s a strength I’ve found
Will you stand with me or will you be my enemy?
Be my enemy
The scars run deep but I’m gaining ground
In this gift to me there’s a strength I’ve found
Will you stand with me or will you be my enemy?
I can breathe without you by my side
I believed everything we did was right
I can heal this is just another fight
Another fight
I only want to make it right
Only want to make it right
Only want to make it right
With you
Better Alone
I understand your point of view letting me go
But I thought you had more faith
Everything I’ve done for you
You made the mistakes and now you throw this in my face
And I have worked so hard for you all of this time and you cast me aside
I understand your point of view
But I can’t seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I’ve got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there’s nothing left to fear
I’m better alone my dear
You couldn’t pick a better time to give me the news
Why don’t you kick me when I’m down?
I’d always believed in you
Defended your name but you have not been true
I gave you so much of my life I’ve compromised and you tell me goodbye
You couldn’t pick a better time
And I can’t seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear
And every time I think I’ve got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there’s nothing left to fear
I’m better alone my dear
I know I really should thank you for setting me free
It’s really amazing the changes I’m starting to feel
It’s not gonna be long till I’m fit and strong
Deliverance helped me heal still I wonder if you ever wish you still had me
Will I ever get my head around
All the things that I feel good about that always seem to disappear
When every time I think I’ve got this all worked out
Something chews me up and spits me out
But there’s nothing left to fear
No No No
I can’t seem to get my head around
All the things that I feel good about that always seem to disappear
No No
And every time I think I’ve got this figured out
Something screws me up and drags me down
But there’s nothing left to fear
I’m better alone my dear
