Lyrics


1. THE BEST DAMN THING (ALBUM VERSION)

Let me hear you say hey hey hey (hey hey hey)
Alright
Now let me hear you say hey hey ho (hey hey ho)

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 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 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

Alright Alright 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

[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

One two three four

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

[Chorus]

Let me hear you say hey hey hey (hey hey hey)
Alright
Now let me hear you say hey hey ho (hey hey ho)
(hey hey ho)
(hey hey ho)
(hey hey ho)

I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen


2. GIRLFRIEND (LIVE)

[Chorus]
Hey Hey You You I don't like your girlfriend
No way No way I think you need a new one
Hey Hey You You I could be your girlfriend
Hey Hey You You I know that you like me
No way No way No it's not a secret
Hey Hey You You I want to be your girlfriend

You're so fine - I want you mine - You're so delicious
I think about you all the time - You're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend - I think you know I'm damn precious
And hell yeah I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right

[Pre-Chorus]
She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about

[Chorus]

I can see the way - I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away - I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again

So come over here and tell me what I want to hear
Better yet - Make the girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[x2]
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can - Cause I can do it better
There's no other so when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid - What the hell were you thinking?

[Chorus] [x2]

No way No way Hey Hey


3. INNOCENCE (LIVE)

Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

[Chorus]
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by?

I found a place so safe - Not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm - I belong - I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

[Chorus]

[x2]
It's a state of bliss - You think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry

This innocence is brilliant
It makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant
Please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by?

[Chorus]


4. HOT (LIVE)

You're so good to me Baby Baby

I want to lock you up in my closet - Where no one's around
I want to put your hand in my pocket - Because you're allowed
I want to drive you into the corner - And kiss you without a sound
I want to stay this way forever - I'll say it loud
Now you're in - You can't get out

[Chorus]
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby
You're so good to me Baby Baby

I can make you feel all better - Just take it in
And I can show you all the places - You've never been
And I can make you say everything - That you never said
And I will let you do anything - Again and again
Now you're in - You can't get out

[Chorus]

Kiss me gently
Always I know
Hold me - Love me
Don't ever go

You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me

[Chorus]

You're so good


5. LOSING GRIP (LIVE)

Are you aware of what you make me feel?
Baby
Right now I feel invisible to you
Like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you?
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say

[Pre-Chorus]
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

[Chorus]
Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
You - You need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you placed beside you
To take somebody's place
When you turn around
Can you recognize my face
You used to love me
You used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't ok

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud
I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide

Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone

[x2]
Why should I care?
Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care?
If you don't care
Then I don't care
We're not going anywhere
