Kelly Clarkson’s Ex Fights Back

Kelly Clarkson’s Ex Fights Back

Kelly Clarkson recently spoke out about David Hodges, her cheating boyfriend from last year.

“My standards were low because I was lonely,” she said. “I met this musician, not a famous musician–he doesn’t even deserved to be named–and I thought he was totally into me. And then you find out, oh God, that he had this whole other relationship on the side, and that he is only dating you to get into pictures and to become famous.”

Kelly had penned the song “Never Again” about Hodges on her latest album, My December.

Now Hodges is fighting back with his own song called “Just a Little Girl”, which according to his website us “a rebuttal to a single by a former idol currently on the radio.” (You can listen to it here.)

Hodges is best known for his work with the band Evanescence, which he left in 2002. He now fronts his own band, Trading Yesterday. Check out the lyrics to “Just a Little Girl” below.

DAVID HODGES - “JUST A LITTLE GIRL” LYRICS

You never cared to hear the other side
So why would you care to keep this thing alive
You paint me into a memory of all your pain
But i will not be drawn into the past again

[Chorus]
Cause all of this is all that I can take
And you could never understand the demons that I face
So go ahead and bat your eyes and lie right to the world
For in everything you are, you’re just a little girl

I never meant for you to feel this way
but Decembers were never meant to be our graves
It’s not a question of who was wrong and what is right
But time cannot heal what you will never recognize

(Chorus)

So go ahead and cry
Go ahead believe that you were right
To keep away the dark to help you sleep tonight

Go on and decide
Who is wrong what is right
If you know inside

(Chorus x2)

haha david sucks…he is just a little girl…yes I mean girl not boy

This guy is a complete and total JERK. I can’t even believe that he even thinks that she should of given him a chance to explain. I wonder if Kelly’s heard this song before…

I take both sides with a grain of salt. I have trouble believing David was using her for publicity because most people I know didn’t know that they were dating until they were over. We all knew David as a former and founder of Evanescence. Honestly. I’m left with impressions that no one was an angel in this relationship. I loved My December. it was well done. But it was just Kelly being angry, betrayed, lonely etc. for 14 tracks. Being that they were only together in 2004 I’m surprised that nothing happened since that time to make it into the CD. Was being angry at David the only thing she could talk about? I could cope with 1/2 a CD-but a whole one? the whole CD was the saintly doe-eyed Kelly who was victimized and came out jaded. I’m sure this wasn’t as black and white. When he says “you never cared to hear the other side” I believe that. I’m sure he did wrong things. I’m sure she has reasons to be hurt. But I’m also sure that this was a complicated relationship that isn’t going to be a simple good guy/bad guy story. There is a lot of bias because Kelly is more famous. I think there is more to the story. There is a lot not being said to me. I think since no one was there and can give an account it is unfair to take any sides. As far as we know both sides have done wrong,

I love the CD. It’s something anyone who has ever felt betrayed can relate to but I understand what you mean about there being two sides. Not that cheating is okay but…The problem is that sometimes people are quick to point the finger at others rather than analyze why the individual cheated. Maybe your own actions had a big role in pushing the other to the brink of temptation. By blaming and labeling others, it inevitably hinders people from looking deeper into the problem and trying to resolve it before it recurs with another mate. The common belief is, I’m not a bad person. I don’t need to change, I’m not the one who cheated. The result is that the whole process repeats itself without being rectified, which is probably why so many men and women complain about having been cheated on in so many relationships. People do not cheat because they’re pigs, sows, *******, or dogs. It all comes down to two basic drives: the physical sexual drive and the emotional need. Honestly, most men I know would not cheat on a girl unless they were feeling that something was not being met. I mean why risk ruining a perfect relationship with a side thing if nothing is wrong? Also, we don’t really know that he cheated. It’s his words against Kelly and unfortunately for him Kelly has a larger fan base that will believe whatever she says because she said it. The most facts we have is they dated a while, he left her and got back together with his ex whom he married and she was pissed off. Other than that it’s a war of words and choosing whom you were going to believe. I agree that it’s probably a little bit of both. To me it looks like they just wanted different things. Breakups are hard on everyone and there are too sides to a story. So I agree w/that poster. Let’s not make villains and heroes.
I see why he would put the song out though. I mean the Kelly fan club is out there saying his a a-hole and has a lynch mob out for him. Kelly has 3 songs on her second CD and a third CD that might as well be titled with his name because it’s 14 tracks about him. Obviously he wants to have his side told.
And about the publicity thing. I to had no idea they together. I think Kelly is giving herself too much of a compliment. She wasn’t that famous when she was with him/ I knew him from Evanescence. I don’t think he cared that she was famous. They were dating before Breakaway was out. She wasn’t really that famous then. She was the American Idol chick with one overplayed hit single that was a Christina castoff. I didn’t though they had been a couple until I heard the story behind Behind These Hazel Eyes. He probably only had pics of her on his site because he’s in them and it’s his site. He doesn’t have a huge gallery. I mean we might as well freak out that Amy Lee is in most of a picture and he’s not in Evanescence anymore. That’s silly.

Umm… I think that Kelly is a spoiled brat and that David (the tatooed guy) is telling the truth!!!! He would never cheat on her and just date her for publicity!! He really liked her! So any 1 who is dissin this guy- every 1 nos he is really telling the truth! she is an inmature hollywood brat!! and just b cuz david isn’t as big as a star kelly is…. well- he writes GREAT MUSIC and kelly is a liar!

he’s just mad that she caught onto him
he’s the one that needs to grow up and face the fact that he lost a great person
he’s just jealous that he won’t ever be half as famous and half of a great person that kelly is!
grow and and be a man

Sounds like he is being a real big jerk to kellyclarkson and he is acting really really imature when he was caught cheating on her and was useing her for his own selfish games to become famous then just up and leave her when he got his fame Q.U.A.D.R.P.L.E L.O.S.E.R.

David sucks, this song doesn’t even make any since, its just like he trough a bunch of words together. He needs to stop trying to be famous because he never will be. He is just mad thet Kelly is an AMAZING woman, she can sing, she is beautiful, she’s not a diva, she hasn’t let her fame on to her head like other singers, and she so nice to her fans, I know because I have met her. Also any guy who cheats on a woman should get they B**LS cut off, and all you people on here who said that she is ugly and fat stop hating because you wish you were her and had her life.
