Miriam Lyrics
Miriam
That's such a pretty name
I'm gonna say it when
I'll make you cry
Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye
Now I'm not the jealous type
Never been the killing kind
But you know I know what you did
So don't put up a fight
Miriam
When you were having fun
In my big pretty house
Did you think twice?
Miriam
Was it a game to you?
Was it a game to him?
Don't tell me lies
I know he said it's not your fault
But I don't believe that's true
I've punished him from ear to ear
Now I've saved the best for you
And I'm trying not to hurt you
'Cause you might not be that bad
But it takes a lot to make me go this mad
Oh Miriam
That's such a pretty name
And I'll keep saying it
Until you die
Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
I take your life
Mmm, mmm, mmm
That's such a pretty name
I'm gonna say it when
I'll make you cry
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye
Never been the killing kind
But you know I know what you did
So don't put up a fight
When you were having fun
In my big pretty house
Did you think twice?
Was it a game to you?
Was it a game to him?
Don't tell me lies
But I don't believe that's true
I've punished him from ear to ear
Now I've saved the best for you
'Cause you might not be that bad
But it takes a lot to make me go this mad
That's such a pretty name
And I'll keep saying it
Until you die
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye
I'm gonna smile when
I take your life
Mmm, mmm, mmm

A girl called Miriam screwed me over recently, not ever taking her life(!) but I downloaded this album literally 5 minutes after and laughed out loud when I saw this song name come up.
I think this song is about a girl who is very angry with another girl called Miriam for sleeping with her boyfriend. She's so angry with her that she decides to kill her.
This is definitely a new side to Norah Jones. You expect her to be all sweet and innocent then she comes out with this haunting song. I love it!
I think it's actually "I'm gonna say it when I make you cry" not "I'll make you cry."
I JUST had a dream about attempting to hurt and kill my ex boyfriends lover. I HATE her so much and when I woke up I felt so happy that I got to at least beat the shit out of her in my dream. She's lucky I live in another state, really. Anyways, it's a huge coincidence that I stumbled upon this video todaay.... a huge one. It's like it was calling me...
