Lyrics
0:00So your best friend screwed you over
0:02Acted nice when she not nice
0:04Well I have some advice
0:05'Cause it's happened to me twice
0:07Here's my secret strategy
0:09It always works because
0:11The world doesn't end
0:12It just feels like it does
0:14Just raise your right finger
0:18And solemnly swear
0:21Whatever they say about me
0:25I don't care
0:28I won't twist in knots to join your game
0:30I will say You make me mad
0:31And if you treat me bad
0:32I'll say You're bad
0:35If I eat alone from this moment on
0:37That's just what I'll do
0:38'Cause I'd rather be me
0:40I'd rather be me
0:42I'd rather be me than be with you
0:52We're supposed to all be ladies
0:54And be nurturing and care
0:56Is that really fair
0:57Boys get to fight we have to share
0:59Here's the way that that turns out
1:01We always understand
1:03How to slap someone down with our underhand
1:06So here's my right finger
1:10To how girls should behave
1:13'Cause sometimes what's meant to break you
1:17Makes you brave
1:20So I will not act all innocent
1:22I won't fake apologize
1:23Let's just fight and then make up
1:25Not tell these lies
1:27Let's call our damage even
1:29Clean the slate till it's like new
1:31It's a new life for me
1:32Where I'd rather be me
1:34I'd rather be me than be with you
1:41I'll say No
1:42I'll say Knock it off with your notes
1:43And your rules and your games
1:45And those sycophants who follow you
1:46I'll remember all their names
1:48And when they drag you down
1:49Like they inevitably do
1:52I will not laugh along with them and
1:54Approve their palace coup
1:55'Cause that's not me
1:59I don't need their good opinions
2:00I've got plenty of opinions
2:02Every asshole has opinions but
2:03It doesn't make them true
2:05What's true is being me
2:07And I'd rather be me
2:09I'd rather be me than be with you
2:15So raise them high
2:17'Cause playing nice and shy
2:19Is insulting my IQ
2:24I'd rather be me
2:26I'd rather be me
2:27I'd rather be me than be with you
2:31I'd rather be me
2:32I'd rather be me
2:34I'd rather be me than be with you
2:38I'd rather be me
2:39I'd rather be me
2:41I'd rather be me than be with you
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 Just 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 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 apologize Let's just fight and then make up Not tell these lies Let's call our damage even Clean the slate till 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've got plenty of opinions Every asshole 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 I'd rather be me I'd rather be me I'd rather be me than be with you
