    Id Rather Be Me

    Uploaded by

    This song is about standing up for yourself after being betrayed by a friend. The three key points are: 1) The singer's best friend acted nicely but was not a true friend and "screwed [her] over." 2) The singer's advice is to raise your finger and swear you don't care what others say about you. She says she won't "twist in knots" or play games to join their group. 3) The singer would rather stay true to herself than try to be friends with someone who treats her badly. She says "I'd rather be me than be with you."

    ID RATHER BE ME

    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
    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 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 than be with you
