lyrics

You took him for granted and didn't appreciate
He never asked you where you'd been or why you're home so late
Anything you needed was his duty
You were his Cleopatra, his Nefertiti
You didn't realize the good thing you had
Pastures were greener on the other side
You packed your bags, jumped in your ride and left him alone to
Sleep in the bed you made

You made your choice, now girl you’ll have to live with it
You made your bed, now girl you’ll have to lie in it

Said he wasn't man enough for you
Wanted a body builder, at least 6 foot 2
Well you got your Hulk, your Schwarzenegger
No back rubs, no flowers, no romance ever
Now you have a change of heart
The mistake you made's tearing you apart
Wanna get him back, make a new start and bring him back home to
Sleep in the bed you made

You made your choice, now girl you’ll have to live with it
You made your bed, now girl you’ll have to lie in it

Now you're making your move on him
You keep coming around to see him
He's wondering what's on your mind
Cause you're much too cruel to be kind
All of a sudden you're saccharin sweet
Inviting him to the movies
But the next time you call, it's my voice you'll greet
Girl, it's time you
Sleep in the bed you made

You made your choice, now girl you’ll have to live with it
You made your bed, now girl you’ll have to lie in it

Jewelle McKenzie Montreal, Québec

Ain’t It Good, which Jewelle wrote and produced, combines Swing, R&B, and Jazz, spiced with Gospel vocals and a little Rock for an eclectic style that is all her own, making the bold statement that she is not a woman looking for anyone’s approval. Clearly she makes no concessions to pop trends or compromises the character of her artistry as she charms and disarms with her voice and music. ... more
