Id Rather Be Me

So your best friend screwed you over
Acted nice when shes not nice
Well, I have some advice
Cause its happened to me... twice
Heres my secret strategy
It always works because
The world doesnt end
It just feels like it does
So raise your right finger
And solemnly swear,
'Whatever they say about me
I dont care!'
I wont twist in knots to join your game
I will say, 'You make me mad.'
And if you treat me bad
Ill say you are bad
And if I eat alone from this moment on
Thats just what Ill do
Cause Id rather be me
Id rather be me
Id rather be me than be with you
Were supposed to all be ladies
And be nurturing and care
Is that really fair?
Boys get to fight, weve to share
Heres the way that that turns out
We always understand
How to slap someone down
With our underhand
So heres my right finger
To how girls should behave
Cause sometimes whats meant to break you
Makes you brave
So I will not act all innocent
I wont fake apologize
Lets just fight and then make up
Not tell these lies
Lets call our damage even
Clean the slate till its like new
Its a new life for me
For Id rather be me
Id rather be me than be with you
Ill say, 'NO!'
Ill say, 'Knock it off, with your notes
And your rules and your games. '
And those sycophants who follow you
Ill 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 thats not me
I dont need their good opinions
I have plenty of opinions
Everybody has opinions but it doesnt make them true
Whats true is being me
And Id rather be me
Id rather be me than be with you
So raise them high
Cause playing nice and shy
Is insulting my IQ
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Id rather be me
(Id rather be me)
Id rather be me
( Id rather be me)
Id rather be me than be with you
(Id rather be me)
Id rather be me
(Id rather be me)
Id rather be me
(Id rather be me)
Id rather be me than be with you
