So your best friend screwed you over
Acted nice when she not nice
Well I have some advice cause this 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 enough 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 we get along 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 me with you
We supposed to all be ladies and be nurturing and care
Is that really fair boys get to fight we just 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 girl should behave
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 collect 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 me with you
I say no no I said knock it out with your nose
And your rules and your games
And no secret facts to follow
You I remember all the names
And when they drag you you down like they inevitably do
I will not laugh along with them
And prove that pal is cool
Cause that's not me
James james james james
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
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
