Dumb Blonde
Blonde Wisdom: Rising Above the Storm
Lyrics
Don't try to cry your way out of this
Advising not to use tears as a way to escape consequences.
Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it
Warning against lying, with a promise of being caught.
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Discouraging attempts to evoke pity or sympathy.
Just because I'm blonde
Acknowledging the speaker's blonde hair.
Don't think I'm dumb
Rejecting the assumption that being blonde implies stupidity.
'Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
Asserting independence and intelligence despite the stereotype.
When you left you thought I'd sit
Refuting the expectation of passivity after a departure.
An' you thought I'd wait
Challenging the belief that the speaker would passively wait.
An' you thought I'd cry
Denying the assumption of crying as a response to the departure.
You called me a dumb blonde (dumb blonde)
Recalling a derogatory term used by the departed person.
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
Surviving and overcoming the challenges associated with the term.
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Expressing a lesson learned from experiences as a blonde.
Blondes have more fun
Playing on the stereotype that blondes enjoy life more.
You flew too high off of the ground
Metaphorically describing a fall from a high point in life.
It's stormy weather an' had to come back down
Referring to challenging times and hardships.
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Finding a new direction or purpose for life.
Just because I'm blonde
Reiterating that hair color doesn't determine intelligence.
Don't think I'm dumb
Rejecting the assumption of foolishness based on appearance.
'Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
Emphasizing intelligence and independence despite stereotypes.
When you left you thought I'd sit
Repeating the resistance to passivity after the departure.
An' you thought I'd wait
Restating the rejection of waiting without action.
An' you thought I'd cry
Reiterating the refusal to cry as a response to departure.
You called me a dumb blonde (dumb blonde)
Recalling the use of the derogatory term "dumb blonde."
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
Surviving and thriving despite the negative label.
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Reinforcing the learning and growth from the experiences.
Blondes have more fun
Playing on the stereotype that blondes enjoy life more.
You flew too high off of the ground
Repeating the metaphor of a fall and recovery from challenges.
It's stormy weather an' had to come back down
Describing difficult times and the need to bounce back.
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Finding new opportunities or solutions despite challenges.
Just because I'm blonde
Reiterating that hair color doesn't determine intelligence.
Don't think I'm dumb
Rejecting the assumption of foolishness based on appearance.
'Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
Emphasizing intelligence and independence despite stereotypes.
