So your best friend
screwed you over
Acted nice when
she not nice
Well, I have
some advice
'Cause it's happened
to me twice
Here's my secret
strategy
It always works
because
The world
doesn't end
It just feels like
it does
So raise your
right finger
And solemnly swear
Whatever they
say about me
I don't care
I won't twist in
knots to join your game
I will say,
"You make me mad"
And if you
treat me bad
I'll say,
"You're bad"
And if I eat alone
from this moment on
That's just what
I'll do
'Cause I'd rather be
me, I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
than be with you
We're supposed
to all be ladies
And be nurturing
and care
Is that really fair?
Boys get to fight,
we have to share
Here's the way
that that turns out
We always
understand
How to slap
someone down
With our underhand
So here's my
right finger
To how girls
should behave
'Cause sometimes
what's meant to
break you
Makes you brave
So I will not
act all innocent
I won't fake apologise
Let's just fight
and then make up
Not tell these lies
Let's call our
damage even
Clean the slate
'til it's like new
It's a new life for me
Where I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
Than be with you
I'll say,
"No"
I'll say,
"Knock it off with
your notes and your
rules and your games"
And those sycophants
who follow you
I'll remember all
their names
And when they
drag you down
Like they inevitably
do
I will not laugh along
with them and
Approve their palace
coup, 'cause that's
not me
I don't need their
good opinions
I have plenty
of opinions
Everybody has opinions
but it doesn't make
them true
What's true is
being me
And I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
than be with you
So raise them high
'cause playing nice and
shy is insulting my IQ
I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
than be with you
I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
than be with you
