Song lyrics

Send "Don't Tell Me" ringtones to your cell

You held my hand and walked me home, I don't know 
Why you gave me that kiss
It was something like this and made me go ooh ooh
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust

Did I not I tell you that I'm not like that girl,
the one who, who gives it all away, yeah, oh, oh

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin' I was gonna do, and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah

Don't think that you're charm
And the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants, I'll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop 
Though I liked you a lot 
But I'm really upset (I'm really upset)
Get out of my head, get off of my bed
Yeah, that's what I said

Did I not I tell you that I'm not like that girl,
The one who throws it all away

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin' I was gonna do, and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah

This guilt trip that you put me on
Won't mess me up, I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin' I was gonna do, and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah

Better off that way
I'm better off alone anyway

336 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Avril Lavigne made the anxious part of my brain overflow. And this song is what started it. It all started on December 29, 2004. I went to www.avrillavigne.com and saw the video for this song. I watched it once. Then again. And again. Soon an obssesion had formed in my head, and there was no going back. That night we were having a little party for my birthday, which my mom had been planning for weeks. My cousin came over and we had a good time. It was all what a party should be. And then it happened. First I started to feel dizzy. My breathing wasn't steady. I didn't know it then, but I was having a panic attack. I started scratching myself (scratching is a form of self-abuse. It's a bit like cutting yourself except that you use your fingernails). A few weeks later, my mother took me to see a phsychologist. I learned that I have an anxiety disorder, and a mild form of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). I am doing better today, but I still have panic attacks every now and again. This is an entirely true story. I'd like to sue Avril Lavigne for causing me this pain and suffering. Avril must die!!!!!!!!

336 posts	it's not a made up story it really happened. sorry, i couldve put it all into like one sentence but i was really mad an stressed and whatever that day so i had to put it in detail and all. the shortened version goes something like this: I hate Avril Lavigne. Some of her songs, especially this one, make me anxious and therefore I can't listen to them.

336 posts	the ocd/phsychotherapy thing was a bit too much info but like i said i was pretty stressed that day and i know a bunch of people with OCD and ADD and whatever and they don't really act that different from all the "normal" kids.

336 posts	but just so y'all know, i really would like to sue Avril Lavigne. she's evil. EVIL!!!!!!!

52 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I <3 this song. Abstinance is one of my biggest issues so to speak, so this song stands up for my beliefs. She may be poseur or whatever, but some of her songs are still good, and if she didn't sing them they likely wouldn't be out there for me to listen to.
