I'm Doin' Me : Fantasia

R&B singer Fantasia Barrino premiered earlier today via VEVO the music video for "I'm Doin' Me", the official second single taken from the artist's third album "Back To Me" - The Chuck Harmony-produced song is one of my faves on Fanny's CD so I was beyond happy when I found out it was chosen as the follow-up of "Bittersweet". The IDM videoclip - directed by Benny Boom and filmed last month in the streets of New York City - captures Fantasia finally declaring her freedom from an ex-boyfriend. Or does she? The vid is not bad but it's not something I'd watch over and over again. It lacks of that visually-engaging factor IMO. I did like the little hands-clapping choreographies Tasia did with her girls in the cafe and park tho. "I'm Doin' Me" deserves success if not on the Hot 100 atleast on the R&B/Hip Hop Chart and no less than #5. In related news, Fantasia will embark on 32-date US tour starting this Thursday in Richmond, Virginia until January 1st, in St. Louis, Missouri. Damn it! This is one of those times I wish I live in the states xD. (Source: directlyrics.com)

Fantasia - I'm Doin' Me Lyrics and Video

[Verse 1]
Sometimes as women we give more than we should
To a man that just don’t treat us good, No
Gave him my heart my time
Did all that I could in the past to keep him here with me, yeah
But now I woke up, Opened both my eyes up
Realize that I don’t need any other.
Man, if you can’t love me equally,
Then you don’t need to be with me
Nothing more beautiful then knowing you’re worth
And finally, I know exactly what I deserve

[Chorus]
I’m doin me, this time around
I’m doin’ me, don’t need you now
I rather be by myself, I won’t let your drama hold me down
I’m doin’ me, this time around
I’m doin me, I’ve finally found
I’d rather be by myself, I’m doin’ me.

[Verse 2]
Won’t spend another minute wasting my time
On a man, hey, that only tells me lies, no
Aint saying that I don’t need love
But them games, I don’t need that in my life, no
(Chorus)
I’m doin me, this time around
I’m doin’ me, don’t need you now
I rather be by myself, I won’t let your drama hold me down
I’m doin’ me, this time around

I’m doin me, I’ve finally found
I’d rather be by myself, I’m doin’ me.

I could pray for you to act right everyday
But it ain’t up to me to make you change
Life is too damn short to live unhappily
So I’m being selfish and putting myself in first place

[Chorus]
I’m doin me, this time around
I’m doin’ me, don’t need you now
I rather be by myself, I won’t let your drama hold me down
I’m doin’ me, this time around
I’m doin me, I’ve finally found
I’d rather be by myself, I’m doin’ me.

I’m doing me
This time around
I’m doing me
This time around
No more crying, going thru hell
It’s so good, I’m lovin myself
I’m doin’ me
This time around
I’m doin’ me
I’m doin’ me
Yeah Yeah
I’m doin’ me
Yeah Yeah
