Song lyrics
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and I'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
buti kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should

Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting

I'm not a fan of theirs since what they did. BUT this song is really good. Although i think they need to stop lingering on what they did and just get over it. Stop trying to make people see it their way or agree or feel sorry for them whatever.

Although the song is good and i like the vocals. The instruments are really nice to listen to especially the violin one of them plays. Nice melody and rhythm to...I'll listen to this song because of that even though i dont care for them.

I don't think they're trying to make anyone feel sorry for them, they're just making music about how they feel about things happening in their lives - someone all artist do (or should do at least).

Great song.

i think you're all retarded.
stop worrying about people you'll never meet, or never achieve the things they did.
i fucking made one of these things as i was looking at the lyric's because what yer saying seriously pisses me off.
Dont say that she should move on and stop lingering about what she did, so they will feel bad fer her, i'm glad that she actually has the balls to express the way she feels and doesn't try and make money off of other people's opinions.
i'm glad that shes saying, she doesn't regret it because she shouldn't.
personally i think you should all shut yer mouths, and get a life and get off the computer, and talk shit over a lyric site.
she did what she did, and she's just letting you know that she could really fucking care less about worhtless people who have nothing better to do than this, which i am doing too, which is worthless. <3

This song will mak emuch more sense when you hear what it is actually about.

They are singing about the war in Iraq and how it is so wrong. A part of the song says;

And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over


and thats about how some american people (supposedly the government) sent them death threats.

[b] I think that it is great that they wrote a song that puts all the people who shunned them, for speaking their minds, in their place. That is what the first amendment is all about. I say good for the Dixie Chicks. The song sends out a great message. I really feel like they hit the mark on this one!!!!!!

Kudos to the Dixie Chicks for the following reasons:

1. Making a great, great song that expresses how they feel.
2. Speaking their minds, something that most people are afraid to do. And not being sorry about it.
3. Moving past the pop-induced country feel and growing towards more mature, better music.

Okay first of all I have to say I'm not really a country fan, but this song is incredible. I loved it from the first time I heard it.

Everyone needs to stop worrying about what the song means to the artist and think about what it means to you. Personally this song makes me think about how angry I am at myself and my jobs for me not being able to get to one of my friends from high school funeral visition. He was tragically killed in a car accident on the Canada Day Weekend. And because I work two full time jobs to pay for school I wasn't able to make it and now I'm very angry and I regret that, and I really don't have time to go "Round and round and round" but I seem to in my head.

So next time you disagree with a songs meaning....think of what it means to you.

CHEERS

well said Jiggers. And i'm sry for your loss.
people should stop thinking about other peoples opinions. Think about what you feel. Deeling with your own feelings and thaughts will get you much further than critisising others.

Good for the Dixie Chicks! I always liked that they weren't afraid to express their dislike of Bush, and I was saddened when they gave into pressure and apologized. Everyone has a right to their opinion. The backlash they received for just expressing themselves is absurd. And this song is a great way to express their frustrations at those dissenters. It certainly helps that the song is catchy and vocals superb. I don't care for the music video. Love the song!

I love the fact that they made this song, and that they are standing up for everything. They were on The Ellen Degeneres Show this morning and they were talking about what Natalie said and how people twisted it around. They spoke their mind... people think and say things like that every day. I know people that walk around with tshirts mocking Bush... but you dont see them getting death threats. Its not like they killed anyone they just stated that they werent on his side with the war.

I respect them for standing up for themselves, and not taking crap. This takes guts. It causes controversy, and its awesome. Plus the melody is amazing and the video is perfect. Thumbs up!

I really like this song, cause it's relatable (unfortunatly) to myself, and a friend of my boyfriend's who felt it was his personal responsiblity to have me replaced by himself (and yet he swears he's not gay ), and all of this is very true for me, of him

I think the whole song is kinda cocky.. she writes about what she did with no regrets. I love the lyrics and I love when she starts singing "I made my bed.." and how it just intensifies til' she's at the top of her voice, gotta love it 3
