Spend Some Time

[tcat]

who do you think Em was talking about in the song, "Spend Some Time"?  I always thought it was Mariah or maybe that girl Keisha.  thoughts?

[Admin]

Here are Em's lyrics on the song....

[Intro: Eminem]
If there's any bitches in this room
Then there's something I gotta say
For all the fools, who fell for the first
Girl who comes their way
I've been down that road and, now I'm back
Sitting on square one
Tryna pick myself up where I started from

[Hook: Eminem]
"Spend some time with me, say that you'll be mine"
I, never thought I'd find, someone to be mine
Lord knows I was right, cause you just crossed the line
"Spend some time with me, say that you'll be mine"

[Verse 2: Eminem]
I used to say I never met a girl like you before
Still ain't got a fucking clue as to who you truly are
Almost went as far as introducing you to my daughters
'til you went as far as going and snooping through my drawers
Now I just feel stupid for the loop that you threw me for
Can't believe I almost flew the coop for some stupid whore
You used to say all you wanted was for me to be yours
All I ever wanted from you was a few booty calls
If you recall I used to treat you like a groupie broad
When we fucked I refused to even take my jewelry off
But it threw me off the first time I called and you blew me off
It was a shock, it struck me as odd, but it turned me on
You started getting moody on me, pretty soon we'd argue
And the ruder you got, the more beautiful you got to me
And whoulda even knew that, who woulda even thought possibly
Cupid could shoot another one of them goddamn darts at me
It's true that I got shot in the heart
But when someone seems too good to be true, they usually are
But see, when you're in it it's too hard to see
'til you pull up and see some other dude's car parked and
Reach up onto the seat as your heart starts to beat
Before you make a decision that's life altering
And just as you halt and you turn and you start to leave
You hear them words echoing, almost haunting, that taunting ring

I think is not about one woman, lately I think almost every song he writes about love is about different relationships or aspects from different relationships that he found usefully to write certain song..

[willowmoonblood]

For some reason I always thought Britney Murphy...but the line about "almost indroduced you to my daughter" would mean no. Remember that crazy chick Marissa something or other on Twitter that tried to say she was dating him...she said it was about her!

I agree with that. I think some lines are about Brittany Murphy too.

But I remember him saying Brittany used to play with Hailie ...like in the set of 8 Mile or his house

I used to say I never met a girl like you before

Still ain't got a fucking clue as to who you truly are

( My understanding was Britney played sweet and innocent with him, she was really controlled by her mother and would play the "sick" card to get his attention when needed) 


'til you went as far as going and snooping through my drawers

Now I just feel stupid for the loop that you threw me for

Can't believe I almost flew the coop for some stupid whore

( I just thought going through his drawers would be something she would do LOL, and didn't he get back with Kim right after his relationship with Britney?) 

And whoulda even knew that, who woulda even thought possibly

Cupid could shoot another one of them goddamn darts at me

It's true that I got shot in the heart

But when someone seems too good to be true, they usually are

But see, when you're in it it's too hard to see

(Again back to the sweet and innocent role she played I mean weren't there stories that she would stay at his house and him, her and Haillie would sleep in the bed? Then he found out she would fake illnesses to get his attention) 

Now reading the rest of the lines again I would think Kesia? So my bet is half Britney, half Kesia LOL

All I ever wanted was booty calls--->treated you like a groupie--->you didn't call me---->never met a girl like you---->almost introduced you to my daughters--->stupid whore.

Classic Em. <3

I'm not sure but I wouldn't think it was about Brittaney...well the drawyer line may be haha but I would do that too....maybe the song it's about me haha

[larissago]

Yes, the drawer line and this interview in 2004.

Cosmo: Your character in
Little Black Book is a bit
conniving. What's the sneakiest
thing you've done to a guy?

Brittany: Like I would say in Cosmo!

C: Oh, come on. You don't have
to name names.

B: The worst thing I did was look inside
a closet in an ex-boyfriend's house. I was
looking for something so I opened up
the door, and it was a closet of ex-girlfriends.
All the mementos, journals,
love letters, everything. It was like,
"Aaahhh!" I closed it immediately.

[larissago]

My sister's got OCD as Marshall and she usually keeps a lot of shit stuff. A lot of embarrassing things into her closet.

And about introducing to the daughters, I think he meant introduce her as his girlfriend. They were secretly dating, he didn't tell to his kids. They probably think they were just friends.

[cally]

I'm not convinced ...besides we're talking about Eminem's closet, who wouldn't take a look inside? I always wanted to see if he owns something fancy like a Calvin Klein suit or something like that. Plus after "cleaning out my closet" I would like to see if it's really really clean and I think it would be sweet to find he keeps ex girlfriends stuff in there I would wait for him to fall asleep or take a shower to take a look haha well ...I guess that line was actually written about me haha

(I think I'm kidding, I wouldn't look around his stuff without his permission, and I would like to see more his clothing than his private stuff...I think)

[sparrow]

I feel the crux of the matter here is: If you had...one shot....one opportunity...to go through Eminem's closet....would you capture it? Or let it slip away.

Lose yourself in the bedroom in the closet you know you want it you really wanna see his clothes

[larissago]

Still ain't got a fucking clue as to who you truly are = Clueless.
