[JANIS] So your best friend screwed you over Acted nice when she’s 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 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 till 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
[JANIS] I'll say, "NO!"
[FEMALE STUDENTS] NO!
[JANIS] 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
[FEMALE STUDENTS] Janis. 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
[JANIS & FEMALE STUDENTS] And I’d rather be me I’d rather be me than be with you
[JANIS] So raise them high ‘cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ
[FEMALE STUDENTS] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
[JANIS & FEMALE STUDENTS] 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 youTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
