| I think it could be about bulimia. The most obvious example of this is the line 'They say I'm plump, but I throw up all the time'. Also 'I'm eating you, i'm overfed'. But at the same time the song uses imagery of babies, - 'spittle on his bib', 'your milk's in my mouth'. Quite how this ties in I'm not sure...in fact a lot of the lines in here could equally refer to bulimia or being a baby! The contrasts make it seem all the more vicious. Great song. | |

| I think this songs was obviously written about babies and pregnancy, but is also tied in with body image and bulima. I also think it's about Frances being taken away from her so-called "un-fit" parents. Clove is sarcatic about being a bad mother, with the line "I don't do the dishes/I throw them in the crib" | |

| I agree with what has been said about this song, but I kind of feel like the part that goes, I'm eating you, I'm overfed Your milk's in my mouth It makes me sick Now I've stumbled here Failed to make it mine They say I'm plump, but I throw up all the time I'm eating you, I'm overfed Your milk's in my mouth It makes me sick could be Frances Bean "talking". As in, she's eating her mother's breast milk. And then how she "Stumbled here" and "failed to make it mine" could be referring to when she was with the authorities. Lastly, "They say I'm plump, but I throw up all the time", babies have baby fat, and are therefore, plump, although they still throw up (spit up) all the time. I dunno', just a thought. | |

| I was definitely thinking along the lines of Frances Bean...She's absolutely sooo cute! I have a very short video downloaded on my comp of Kurt holding her, and he's trying to give her something, and courtney tells him that, "She thinks it's medicine...She thinks it's medicine..." And, the other lady says, "Because it's on the spoon?" Anyway, very adorable girl...I absolutely love her, and I love this song...I always put it on repeat! And belt it out! MaggieMichelle | |

| It's about weight gain during pregnancy, and feeling self-conscious with your body. And then there are some references to losing custody of Frances Bean in the song. | |

| I think this songs about body image and how in earlier years courtney self proclaimed herself "fat".which she obviously isant but carrying on....It may also be about frances being taken away and EVEN about streotypes off what mothers should be *I dont do the dishes,I throw them in the crib.I like this song. | |
