Song Lyrics:

SO, YOUR BEST FRIEND
SCREWED YOU OVER
ACTED NICE
WHEN SHE'S 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'VE 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, THEN 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 'EM 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 PLAYIN' NICE AND SHY
IS INSULTING MY I.Q.
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...
