[00:00.000] 作词 : Nell Benjamin
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Jeff Richmond
[00:05.995][JANIS] So your best friend screwed you over
[00:07.954]Acted nice when she not nice
[00:09.600]Well, I have some advice
[00:11.272]'Cause it's happened to me. Twice
[00:13.309]Here's my secret strategy
[00:14.694]It always works because
[00:16.548]The world doesn't end
[00:18.168]It just feels like it does
[00:19.814]So raise your right finger
[00:23.575]And solemnly swear
[00:26.893]"Whatever they say about me
[00:30.446]I don't care!"
[00:33.397]I won't twist in knots to join your game
[00:35.644]I will say, "you make me mad."
[00:37.055]And if you treat me bad
[00:38.178]I'll say “you're bad”
[00:40.660]And if I eat alone from this moment on
[00:42.436]That's just what I'll do
[00:44.134]'Cause I'd rather be me
[00:45.544]I'd rather be me
[00:47.477]I'd rather be me than be with you
[00:54.322]We're supposed to all be ladies
[00:55.811]And be nurturing and care
[00:57.874]Is that really fair?
[00:59.285]Boys get to fight, we have to share
[01:01.113]Here's the way that that turns out
[01:02.576]We always understand
[01:04.379]How to slap someone down
[01:06.155]With our underhand
[01:07.879]So here's my right finger
[01:11.275]To how girls should behave
[01:15.011]'Cause sometimes what's meant to break you
[01:18.642]Makes you brave
[01:21.907]So I will not act all innocent
[01:23.448]I won't fake apologize
[01:25.015]Let's just fight and then make up
[01:26.818]Not tell these lies
[01:28.699]Let's call our damage even
[01:30.240]Clean the slate till it's like new
[01:32.121]It's a new life for me
[01:33.949]Where I'd rather be me
[01:35.621]I'd rather be me
[01:37.920]Than be with you
[01:42.230][JANIS] I'll say, "NO!"
[01:43.014][FEMALE STUDENTS] NO!
[01:43.458][JANIS] I'll say, "knock it off, with your notes
[01:44.503]And your rules and your games."
[01:45.600]And those sycophants who follow you
[01:47.664]I'll remember all their names
[01:49.022]And when they drag you down
[01:50.851]Like they inevitably do
[01:52.731]I will not laugh along with them
[01:54.586]And approve their palace coup
[01:55.918]'Cause that's not me
[01:56.754][FEMALE STUDENTS] Janis! Janis! Janis! Janis
[01:59.602][JANIS] I don't need their good opinions
[02:01.117]I have plenty of opinions
[02:03.024]Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true
[02:06.158]What's true is being me
[02:07.987][JANIS & FEMALE STUDENTS] And I'd rather be me
[02:09.815]I'd rather be me than be with you
[02:16.503][JANIS] So raise them high 'cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ
[02:22.615][FEMALE STUDENTS] Yeah! Yeah! Yeah
[02:23.686][JANIS & FEMALE STUDENTS] I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me)
[02:26.273]I'd rather be me (I'd rather be me)
[02:27.997]I'd rather be me than be with you
