So your best friend screwed you over
你最好的朋友背叛了你
Acted nice when she's not nice
表面友善 内心却并非如此
Well I have some advice
让我来给你些建议
'Cause it's happened to me Twice
因为我也曾两度经历
Here's my secret strategy
这是我的秘密策略
It always works because
它总是有效 因为
The world doesn't end
世界不会因此终结
It just feels like it does
只是感觉像天塌地陷
So raise your right finger
举起你的右手食指
And solemnly swear
郑重宣誓
"Whatever they say about me
“无论他们如何议论我
I don't care"
我都不在乎”
I won't twist in knots to join your game
我不会为了迎合你而扭曲自己
I will say "you make me mad"
我会直说“你让我愤怒”
And if you treat me bad
若你待我不公
I'll say "you're bad"
我会直言“你错了”
And if I eat alone from this moment on
若从今往后我独自用餐
That's just what I'll do
那便是我选择的路
'Cause I'd rather be me I'd rather be me
我宁愿做真实的自己
I'd rather be me than be with you
也不愿违心与你为伍
We're supposed to all be ladies
世人总要求我们做淑女
And be nurturing and care
要温柔体贴又大方
Is that really fair?
这真的公平吗?
Boys get to fight we have to share
男孩可以争斗 我们却要忍让
Here's the way that turns out
这就是最终的结果
We always understand
我们总是心知肚明
How to slap someone down
如何用卑劣手段
With our underhands
将他人踩在脚下
So here's my right finger
所以我要竖起中指
To how girls should behave
向那些对女性的规训说"不"
'Cause sometimes what's meant to break you
因为那些试图击垮你的
Makes you brave
终将使你更加勇敢
So I will not act all innocent
我不会假装无辜纯良
I won't fake apologize
也绝不虚伪道歉
Let's just fight and then make up
与其谎言粉饰太平
Not tell these lies
不如痛快争执后和解
Let's call our damage even
让我们清算旧账两清
Clean the slate till it's like new
将过往恩怨尽数归零
It's a new life for me
此刻我重获新生
Where I'd rather be me
我宁愿做真实的自己
I'd rather be me than be with you
也不愿违心与你为伍
I'll say "NO"
我要说"不"
NO
绝不
I'll say "knock it off
我要说"适可而止"
With your notes and your rules and your games"
收起你的说教 规则和把戏
And those sycophants who follow you
还有那些阿谀奉承之徒
I'll remember all their names
他们的名字我都牢记于心
And when they drag you down
当他们将你拖入深渊
Like they inevitably do
如注定会发生的那样
I will not laugh along with them
我绝不会随声附和
And approve their palace coup
更不会认同这场背叛
Cause that's not me
因为那不是我
Janis Janis Janis Janis
珍妮丝 珍妮丝 珍妮丝 珍妮丝
I don't need their good opinions
我不需要他们的认可
I have plenty of opinions
我自有我的坚持
Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true
众人皆有其见 却未必是真理
What's true is being me
真实即做自己
And I'd rather be me
我宁愿保持本真
I'd rather be me than be with you
也不愿违心与你为伍
So raise them high 'cause playing nice
高举旗帜吧 因虚与委蛇
And shy is insulting my IQ
怯懦是对我智慧的侮辱
Yeah yeah yeah
I'd Rather Be Me
我宁愿做自己
I'd Rather Be Me
我宁愿做自己
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you
我宁愿做自己 也不愿与你为伍
I'd Rather Be Me
我宁愿做自己
I'd Rather Be Me
我宁愿做自己
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you
我宁愿做自己 也不愿与你为伍
