I'd Rather Be Me

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" (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
 So raise them high 'cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ
 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
 I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me)
 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)
 I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me)
 I'd rather be me than be with you
