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 l'd rather be me, l'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 l'd rather be me
I'd rather be me Than be with you
I'll say, "No" (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 (Janis, Janis, Janis, Janis)
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
