Steph and I have all these songs that are like, our relationship songs. Sometimes, she says it's her singing to me in the song, or the sentiment in a song is just so...us. But this one, "Flaws and All" by Beyonce is all me singing to her. (Why are Beyonce and Jay-Z our celebrity couple parallel? From "Bonnie & Clyde '03 until now, that's all us. It's weird.)

Verse 1:
I'm a train wreck in the morning
I'm a bitch in the afternoon
Every now and then without warning
I can be really mean towards you
I'm a puzzle yes indeed
Ever-complex in every waaay
All the pieces aren't even in the box
And yet, you see the picture clear as day

Chorus:
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Simply flaws and all
And that's why I love you
And that's why I looove you
And that's why I looooooove (hmm)

Verse 2:
I neglect you when I'm working (ha ha ha uhn)
When I need a attention
I tend to nag (oh oh ha uhn)
I'm a host of imperfection (ha ha ha uhn)
And you see past all that (hm hm uhn uhhhh uhn)
I'm a peasant by some standards (ha ha ha ha uhn)
But in yo eyes I'm a queen (oh oh ha uhn)
[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]

You see potential in all my flaws (ha ha ha uh uh)
And that's exactly what I mean

Chorus:
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I looove you
And that's why I loooooove you
And that's why I looooooooooove you (ah)

"Deja Vu" by Beyonce is my new song. What is it with Beyonce songs? I sometimes don't like them at first, then they grow on me and next thing, it's my ringtone and I'm singing it all over the place.

So now I'm in this Beyonce mood. My top ten from Weave-yonce and friends (in no particular order):

1. Me, Myself and I - Beyonce

2. Check On It - Beyonce featuring some other folks (dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it)

3. Deja Vu - Beyonce and Jigga

4. Baby Boy - Beyonce and Sean Paul (aka the "writhe on the floor while covered in oil" song)

5. Temptation - Destiny's Child

6. Bills, Bills, Bills - Destiny's Child (I don't agree with the song, but I still like it)

7. Independent Women, Pt.1 - Destiny's Child (How are you an independent woman, but want a brother to pay your bills, bills, bills?)

8. Crazy in Love - Beyonce and Jigga again (uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh no no)

9. Bootylicious - Destiny's Child (I'm not all that bootylicious, but I can pretend when I listen to this song)

10. No, No, No, Pt. 1 - Destiny's Child (I always preferred this version to the much-faster one that came on the radio)

And even though the list is divided between Beyonce solo and Destiny's Child, I'd take Beyonce over Destiny's Child, I think.
