Don’t Tell Me - Avril Lavigne

Album: Under My Skin

genre: Alternative Rock

You held my hand and walked me home, I know
When you gave me that kiss it was something like this it 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 tell you that I’m not like that girl?
The one who gives it all away, yeah

Did you think that I was going to give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was something I was going to 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

Don’t think that your 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 going to ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot, but I’m really upset
Get out of my head get off of my bed yeah that’s what I said
Did I not tell you that I’m not like that girl, the one who, throws it all away

Did you think that I was going to give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was something I was going to 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

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 going to give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was something I was going to 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

Better off that way
I’m better off alone anyway
