Song lyrics
Uh! Yeah, you can do it
Ha, heh heh

I couldn't give a damn what you say to me
I don't really care what you think of me
Cause either way you're gonna think what you believe
There's nothing you could say that would hurt me

I'm better off without you anyway
I thought it would be hard but I'm okay
I don't need you if you're gonna be that way
Cause with me, it's all or nothing

PRE-CHORUS
I'm sick of this shit, don't deny
You're a waste of time
I'm sick of this shit, don't ask why

CHORUS
I hate you now so go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better

Hey! Hey you! I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better

You're so full of shit I can't stand
The way you act I just can't comprehend
I don't think that you can handle it
I'm way over - over it

I will drink as much Limoncello as I can
And I'll do it again and again
I don't really care what you have to say
Cause you know - you know you're nothing

PRE-CHORUS
(I'm so sick)
I'm sick of this shit, don't deny
You're a waste of time
I'm sick of this shit, don't ask why

CHORUS
I hate you now so go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better

Hey! Hey you! I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better

Whad'ya say? (uh, uh)
I told you so
You know that (uh, uh)
Cause I always know

Get outta my face, hey hey
You're not my taste, hey hey

I am so sick of you (sick of you)
You're on my nerves
I want to puke

Get outta my face, hey hey
You're not my taste, hey hey

Hey hey!
Hey hey!

CHORUS
I hate you now so go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better

Hey! Hey you! I found myself again
That's why you're gone (you're gone)
I can do better, I can do better

I hate you now so go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better

Hey! Hey you! I found myself again
That's why you're gone (you're gone)
I can do better, I can do better

(Huh!)

a lot of people think she is a poser
but honestly i don't care,
if you think its good and like it, don't listen to what others think of you
just sing louder for them to hear... that's all

for the record, this is the best album ever from Avril Lavigne...
especially after a break up, whether good or bad... haha...

How is she a poser when she WRITES her songs.
have you seen the videos with her recording them?
she loves her songs, and she has fun with this one and Girlfriend.
the record company DIDN'T make her do it, she did it herself
she is amazing

I'm a very big Avril fan but I'll have to agree with the poser comment. Avril has always been so original but her new cd is so different from who she really is. I think she should stop trying to please people and just be herself- that's the way we love her!!

p.s. I though girlfriend was really fun. But it looked like a bad impression of Hilary Duff. LOL!!

I really like her new album, i think that it is by far the best she has done yet. Hopefully more stuff will come after this.

Unfortunately, I have to agree about the Fergie-Poser. I am quite surprized at the turn she has taken, the song GIRLFRIEND doesnt seem to hold the same feeling as the songs on her last two CD's have. Its just an opinion, and everyone is to their own. I dont plan on buying the CD any time soon.

SHUT UP!!! Avril's not the poser, you are!!!
And she doesn't say "I can do better" in girlfriend, you need your ears checking into!!! She says "I can do it better", which is way different and she doesn't say it 10 times either, dumbass.
And how the hell can she be a poser when she writes her own songs?
I bet you can't write songs as good as her!!!

Avril, don't give a damn what they say to you, cuz either way they'll say what they believe, you can do better!!!

Wow, by far the sukiest song ever known to human beings. Avril is undoubtably turning into a punk wannabe, dressing like a poser and acting like one too.
Her song Girlfriend was so bad I killed myself in the first 30 seconds, and I can't say anything better about this song either
Did I mention that in her song Girlfriend there's the phrase, "I can do it better" about 10 times? And she has a song named after it too? What phony lyrics.
Avril should stop making Cd's for everyone's sakes. Even hers. CAn you say Fergie-wannabe?
