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 '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
I don't need their good opinions, I've got plenty of opinions
Every asshole has opinions, but it doesn't make 'em true
What's true is being me, and I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me than be with you
So raise 'em high (yeah), 'cause playing nice and shy (yeah)
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
I'd rather be me, I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me than be with you
