You Never Satisfy Me
Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something if you don't mind I'd like to mention,
So open those ears, sit your butt down and shut your mouth
I'm aware that it's hard for you to do that,
All I ask is lay down, put your feet up
Now soak in, pay attention, learn a lesson loud and clear
Hey, you're a dirty lier,
I wanted to be left alone,
Not shown around like your golden prize
Oh, I looked around,
Look what happened, you found out
You never satisfy me
Never trusted anyone in the first place,
You turned me up, you're disgusting anyway
Hear that music, crank it up,
Is there something familiar in the singer's voice
Turn it down, now listen to me,
What made you think you were my authority
I'm awake, finally now I'm able to move on (just gotta tell the truth)
Hey, you're a dirty lier,
You wronged me out for something I thought was right,
I wanted to be left alone,
Not shown around like your golden prize
Oh, I looked around,
Look what happened, you found out
You never satisfy me
Now do these words stick to you, hope they do
Think about it, think about it
Stick to you like superglue, keep you from the things you do
Hey, you're a dirty lier,
You wronged me out for something I thought was right,
I wanted to be left alone,
Not shown around like your golden prize
Oh, I looked around,
Look what happened, you found out
You never satisfy me
Hey, you're a dirty lier,
You wronged me out for something I thought was right,
I wanted to be left alone,
Not shown around like your golden prize
Oh, I looked around,
Look what happened, you found out
You never satisfy me

I love the way the choruses all sound different because they aren't just looped vocals ♡
@TrueBeliever04
I like a lot when they do that, feels much more organic
@mmmal9376
I've always wished Avril rearrange this song into a Latin Pop song but very rock influenced. That guitar is magic and although it's not a Pop Girl she'd caught peoples attention again and prove how versatile she is.
