Bitter you, bitter me,
My better half has bitten me!

He said, “I’m your lover, I’m your friend”
I’m purity; hit me again!

Shakes his damn rattle,
Spittle on his bib
And I don’t do the dishes,
I throw them in the crib

I’m all I wanna be:

In demonology!

I will tear the petals off of you,
Rose red, I will make you tell the truth…
While I’ll rock it to the end,
Do you think you can make me do it again?

If you live through this with me,
I swear that I will die for you
And if you live through this with me,
I swear that I will die for you..

Why that’s flattering Thank you.

I’m sometimes accused of “girlyness” for liking this band, but they had lots of critical acclaim—and deserved it. The bitter lyrics, the pulsing grunge backdrop, the howling vocals.. they just fucking rocked.

Like you, I always thought the Jennifer’s Body lyric was “I’m pure and he hit me again”, but Courtney clarified in a post once that it’s actually “I’m purity; hit me again”. this was her post on it (pretty cool)

meaning
as in;

here i am- im purity, thats right hit me again, hit me idare you, i am purity. not a derivative oif, i AM purity. the embodiment, no not that, i am IT, purity. you already hit me and your own version of “me” 60 times today. hitme again. open invatation.

of course this is not literal.

everyone needs a little something that makes them feel like jesus/the soul of empathy/ compassion itself. and it isnt being a rockstar. there are million things that can bring that feeling. taking care of your dog. planting some pumpkin seeds. power from empathy.
etc etc.
