 a way before she became free, seems that way 2 me. I get the feeling she is singing from a place she had been once. Things from the past can make it easy 2 relate 2. Singing with more appeal and energy for me seems 2 flow better when u are the words which become emotions and vice versa. I listen 2 the cd and see and hear her story, I hear her speaking a few lines through it which highlight the "kept women" story. Especially knowing what Vegas is like...It's easy 2 be involved with $ in exchange for company. Look at her story then listen 2 the words I got a new perspective. I listen 2 all three stories that are detailed in the Lotus. Even back in 3121/Planet Earth Seems a bit like she was shown a different life she had ever known before, she was living a certain way and had been treated a certain way by men, until she got "shocked in2 the new world". "let her inhibitions go" opened her heart 2 a "Spiritual healer" who layed her body down giving her something she needed instead of it being just a thang. Everytime.. "he takes his time" (I see LOVE) So she read what she needed 2 so she is where she is because of that. She surrendered, I see the 1 u wanna c again in connection 2 kept women.I hear coming over in christian dior (her own now) and dancing b/c she wants 2, not cuz she is gettin "paid" 2 again the 1 u wanna c. Hey I could be way off but thats the way I felt things. It's the "good things about love" which she has learned
[Edited 1/14/10 15:32pm] Where are you getting that from. That song is not about that. That woman is ready to meet up with a married man. And hoping One Day they will get married. And that's from a Man point of view. | |

And that's from a Man point of view. From listening 2 all the songs an lyrics I have said plus many more..  I explained I maybe way off, and me being wrong is ur opinion. which is cool I don't know if I'm "right" I'm jus saying what I felt, from all the lyrics. I don't know if it matters if it's a point of view from a man or a women, but ur perspective is very nice 2 read. :)It's kinda 2 long 2 explain at this point how exactly I got what I know and felt. Again Vegas was an interesting place 2 be | |

I dont really like the song, but of the two versions i like Bria's a little more. It seems to go with the mellow flow of her album a little better. Change it one more time.. | |

I'm not saying a woman wouldn't have her own mind and idea's about business or making money, however, taking care of a home and a man is a full time lifestyle. I'm the type of person that appreciates those roles in a marriage. That's good for you, but I to me it's a prtnership and that means taking care of each other. True. And I'm not saying that's good for every woman or man...Just me personally. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I'm the type of person that appreciates those roles in a marriage. i think we all appreciate being "the woman" in the relationship, but clearly that is not what this song is talking about. Well it is about a "Kept Woman." Do U feel it is a negative view of being kept? "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

"do right woman" Take me to heart And I'll always love you And nobody can make me do wrong Take me for granted Leaving love unshown Makes will power weak And temptation strong A woman's only human You should understand She's not just a plaything She's flesh and blood Just like her man If you want a do right all's day woman You gotta be a do right all's night man They say it's a man's world But you can't prove that by me And as long as we're together Show some (*equal) respect for me If you want a do right all's day woman You gotta be a do right all's night man (*it's not 70/30, or 60/40, it's gotta be 50/50  then i'll be that "kept woman" )Right, Or better yet, 100/100 "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
