The Best Damn Thing
Avril Lavigne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me hear you say: "hey, hey, hey" (Hey, hey, hey)
All right, now let me hear you say: "hey, hey, ho" (Hey, hey, hey)

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

That you're not, not, not gonna get any better
You won't, won't, won't, you 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, 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

All right, all right
Yeah

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

That you're not, not, not gonna get any better
You won't, won't, won't, you 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, 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

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 (let me hear you scream loud)

One, two, three, four

Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene?
When do you think they'll finally see

That you're not, not, not gonna get any better
You won't, won't, won't, you 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, 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

Let me hear you say: "hey, hey, hey" (Hey, hey, hey)
All right, now let me hear you say: "hey, hey, hey" (Hey, hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
