Each time you failed
you just called me your girl
你以为这是爱情 起死回生的药
You know
你什么都很潮 但这种调调
Woah Woah
你耍的绝招 其实很搞笑
已变成骚扰
And you know what
我亲爱的 你大事不妙
Woah Woah
Mirror mirror on the wall
I don't need you any more
I'm the smartest of them all
G R L S My girl
You cast a spell
You made me melt
I'm back from hell
I'm not your girl
Hey I wanna rule my world
I don't wanna be your girl
And I just wanna be myself
I'm not your girl
I'm not your girl

(All of my girls WHAT)
刮风打雷 没有谁
Girls like us we ain't afraid
如果爱谁 命就给谁
看起来 很凄美
想起来 太谦卑
Mirror mirror on the wall
I don't need you any more
I know I'm the smartest of them all
Mirror mirror on the wall
Boys are stupid Let them fall
We'll still shine like disco ball
You cast a spell
You made me melt
I'm back from hell
I'm not your girl
Hey I wanna rule my world
I don't wanna be your girl

The song "I'm Not Yours" by Jolin Tsai and Namie Amuro is about a girl who is tired of being used and manipulated by her boyfriend. The opening lines refer to the boyfriend's failure and how he considers the girl to be his savior. The girl realizes that the boyfriend is not in love with her, but just using her as a tool to save himself. The chorus of the song is about how the girl is not the boyfriend's possession and that she wants to be her own person. The lyrics "Hey I wanna rule my world, I don't wanna be your girl, and I just wanna be myself,I'm not your girl" clearly portrays the girl's desire to be independent and free from the controlling nature of the boyfriend.
The line "Mirror mirror on the wall" is a reference to the Snow White fairy tale, where the magic mirror tells the queen that Snow White is the fairest. Here, the girl seeks validation and assurance that she is better off without the boyfriend. The repeated "Na Na Na" in the bridge is a sign of the girl's newfound confidence and self-assuredness. The song ends with the girl emphatically stating that she is her own girl and that she wants to rule her world.
Overall, "I'm Not Yours" is a powerful song about self-love and independence. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a toxic relationship where they were used and manipulated. The song's upbeat and energetic tune also adds to its message, encouraging listeners to be self-confident and take control of their lives.

大家好，我是一個韓娛粉絲
我個人覺得這個MV非常有誠意，歌也很好聽
說真的K-POP受歡迎無非和這是韓國主要產業有關，他們投放很多金錢心思打造藝人，其實只要有拿出努力和誠意，任何地方的POP也會好，包括台灣
比如這個MV我是真的覺得很用心，聽了不只一次
不論任何語言的歌曲只要好聽我都很樂意去聽。
看到華語歌還能有這麼大的魅力，我其實作為香港人是覺得很激動的，希望台灣樂壇能更上一層樓。而對目前香港樂壇只能說恨鐵不成鋼，甚麼頒獎典禮的已經成為某些公司的玩物。
我個人也非常樂意大家對那些腦殘K-POP粉絲進行有理的批判，畢竟老實說K-POP吸引的人年齡層較低也很容易引到腦殘，而這些老鼠屎的突出行為使得正常的K-POP粉絲以致整個韓娛粉絲圈都被套上"無腦"。
