push

Harika bir matchbox twenty şarkısı. 96 çıkışlı "yourself or someone like you" albümünde. Şarkıyı rob thomas kendisini duygusal olarak manipüle eden, hor kullanan eski sevgilisi hakkında yazmış. Nakarat bölümüne de onun bakış açısından bakarak koymuş şarkıya. Bazı feminist gruplar şarkının o kısmının - "i wanna push you around"lu kısım- erkek tarafından söylendiğini düşünerek şarkının yasaklanmasını istemişler ancak grup durumun öyle olmadığını açıklamış. "Sözlerin hepsine bakarsanız durum farklı" demişler. Müzikal anlamda da kendisine bağlıyor. Post-grunge türünde. Sözleriyse şöyle;

She said I don't know
If I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty,
And I think my head is caving in

And I don't know
If I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me,
And I feel like something's gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry,

Well, this ain't over, no not here,
Not while I still need you around
You don't owe me, we might change it
Yeah we just might feel good

I wanna push you around,
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna push you down,
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna take you for granted,
I wanna take you for granted
I, I will, I will
I will

She said, "I don't know why you ever would lie to me.
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya.
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me.
You couldn't stand to be near me.
When my face don't seem to want to shine
'Cause it's a little bit dirty.

Well, don't just stand there saying nice things to me
'Cause I've been cheated I've been wronged,
You, you don't know me,
Yeah well, I can't change
Well, I won't do anything at all."

I wanna push you around,
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna push you down,
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna take you for granted,
I wanna take you for granted
I, I will, I will

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute
Well it kinda fell apart,
Things get so crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby,
Don't rush this baby, baby

I wanna push you around,
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna push you down,
Well, I will, well, I will
I wanna take you for granted,
I wanna take you, take you
Well, I will, well, I will
I will, I will
Well, I will, I will
I will, I will

Push you around,
And drag you down
I wanna push you around,
Well, I will.
