I was saying things in songs that female singers didnt really say back then. I wasnt submissive or begging him to come back, I was kicking his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was an inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing itupyet I was very serious.FromFace It
