�The Best Damn Thing�

by Avril Lavigne

I hate it when a guy
Doesn�t get the door
Even though I told him yesterday
And the day before
I hate it when a guy
Doesn�t get the tab
And I have to pull my money out
And that looks bad

Where are the hopes
Where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they�ll finally see

Chorus

That you�re not, not, not
Gonna get any better
You won�t, won�t, won�t
Get rid of me never
Like it or not
Even though she�s a lot like me
We�re not the same
And yeah, yeah, yeah
I�m a lot to handle
You don�t know trouble
But I�m a hell of a scandal
Me, I�m a scene
I�m a drama queen
I�m the best damn thing
That your eyes have ever seen

I hate it when a guy
Doesn�t understand
Why a certain time of month
I don�t want to hold his hand
I hate it when they go out
And we stay in
And they come home
Smelling like their ex-girlfriend

But I found my hopes
I found my dreams
My Cinderella story scene
Now everybody�s gonna see

(Chorus)

Give me an A
Always give me what I want
Give me a V
Be very, very good to me
R � are you gonna treat me right
I � I can put up a fight
Give me an L
Let me hear you scream loud

(Chorus)
