Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend"... I LOVE this song...
WannaBe and I love singing it. My house is cleaner because of it...I owe the 5 miles I walked on the treadmill yesterday at the gym to it. It's just infectious. It kind of reminds me of Mickey (Toni Basil) and I'm not ashamed to say that that song is on my workout mix as well. I don't care what you say:

Avril Lavigne Girlfriend Lyrics
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 could do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious
And hell yeah
I'm the mother fucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right

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!

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

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(and again and again and again)
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again
(And again and again and again!)

Cause, She's like so whatever
And you could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!

Hey! Hey! You! You!
http://www.metrolyrics.com>

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

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cuz I can, cuz 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?!

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cuz I can, cuz 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?!

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
No way, no way!
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
No way! No way!

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
No way, no way!
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
No way! No way!

Hey! Hey!

1. I don't begrudge guilty pleasures, since I have many but...
I really hate her, and that song. In fact it was on the radio on the way to work today and I had to change the channel which I rarely due. But it could be because my loathing of her is so intense more than it is that the song itself is any worse than most out there. If anything she herself is worse than the Britney's and Paris Hiltons because she plays the same stupid media, prefab games as they do but somehow likes to pretend that she's some sort of authentic rocker chick when the reality is she was just as pre-fab as the rest of them. God, she's awful.

"she plays the same stupid media, prefab games as they do but somehow likes to pretend that she's some sort of authentic rocker chick when the reality is she was just as pre-fab as the rest of them."

So true!!!

Horrible song. Puke-inducing video.

33. She's Britney Spears with guitars
Never let her convince you that she is a punk rocker, like she pretends to be. I cannot remember a Sex Pistols song about how they just broke up with their girlfriends. Unless this really is what punk rock is about these days....shakes my head....

36. No, she's not.
She actually writes and plays her own music, something Britney has never done.

42. Actually Britney has written her own songs and can
play a few tunes on the piano. Just sayin'! However, there really is NO comparison between the two. Avril is also a much better vocalist than Britney.

5. Do I detect faint strains of Toni Basil's Mickey in it?
Not that it would be a huge surprise, given that most of today's music is directly stole- -- whoops, I mean copied -- from older stuff.

I don't like the song because I don't like to hear five minutes of shouting. I don't like the song because its accompanying video, while attempting to be funny, is downright mean.

But to each his own. I'm sure I have stuff in my CD collection that would make some of you here develop pernament nervous tics.

6. I forgot about Mickey
And I was happy having a bad memory. Now that you bring it up, yeah, there's a resemblance. Along with that atrocious Hollaback Girl song too.

Hi, MrsG! :hi:

BTW, Mandy Moore and Tiffany are really good right now and I want their new albums. I'm a pop music fan.

and not the thread. I wrote exactly what was posted in the OP. :rofl:

I can't find an actual video for it, but here's the song.

7. I don't like it but my 5-year-old sure does
she was singing it the other day and I didn't know where she'd heard it, but apparently it was at her friend's house.

LOL :D

I do not think her new album is as good as her other two, but it's still really fun and more distinct than much of what's popular.

I'd like Avril to do something like Tralala next, a group that I just found out about that sounds like pop heaven..

15. Who DOESN'T like a song with lyrics straight out of a 6th grade girl's diary?
Which is a pretty accurate description of the collected works of Ms. Lavigne.

16. Yes, they do have a spontaneous quality..
that is endearing to me at least. She put a little too many tongue and cheek lyrics on The Best Damn Thing, and the cheerleader choruses seem more appropriate for her first CD, but I love her voice and there's still a lot of good power pop.

20. Yuck.
That song sucks, along with Gym Class Heroes ripoff from Supertramp, although I'm not a big fan of them, either. The best thing that Avril did was marry Derek Whibley from Sum 41. He's hot, and talented. Whatevs.

I like quite a bit of music from different genres. But then, I like a lot of movies that get panned here too. And, as I posted. I don't really care. :hi:

The song is catchy and infectious. And the video's a lot of fun, too, from the bumper cars to the porta-potty. Avril's just too darn cute for her own good.

38. Meh, check out The Donnas for another take on that situation.
Artist: The Donnas Lyrics
Song: Too Bad About Your Girl Lyrics
Waitin' all night not a call in sight
I got the bait but I got no bite
Wanna have some fun, wanna have someone
Who can make me feel alright

I'm lookin at you, you're lookin' at me too
Yeah you know what I wanna do
But your girlfriend wants the night to end
Baby, tell me somethin' new.


It's too bad about your girl
She doesn't look like she's much fun
It's too bad you got a date tonight
'Cause you're lookin' like you're the one

She left but now she's back, stickin' out her rack
She's got you runnin' down the wrong track
Can't wait to see her face when I'm in her place
And I'm tryin' get you in the sack


It's too bad about your girl
She doesn't look like she's much fun
It's too bad you've got a date tonight
'Cause you're lookin' like you're the one

Tell her to leave
Soon it'll be too late
It's like New Year's Eve
'Cause I just can't wait
Too bad
(echo) You got a date tonight!
Too bad about your girl
Yeah, it's too bad
(echo) You got a date tonight!
Too bad about your girl
Yeah!

If you were smart, you'd send her home on BART
Before the real trouble starts
'Cause who's she gonna slap when she sees me in your lap
And you say you had a change of heart

I gotta make you mine but we're runnin outta time
But she's got you guarded like the Guggenheim
It's all that I can take, let's make a jailbreak
Or we'll be doin' time in Anaheim!


It's too bad about your girl
She doesn't look like she's much fun
It's too bad you got a date tonight
'Cause you're lookin' like you're the one


It's too bad about your girl
She doesn't look like she's much fun
It's too bad you got a date tonight
'Cause you're lookin' like you're the one


The Donnas: http://www.thedonnas.com/ Great band, check 'em out.

39. I know I'm supposed to be all outraged by her, but whatever
She's not really making the music for me, so why do I care really?

Hipsters who bitch about Avril and her ilk are just lame.

It's a catchy, youthful song. She should enjoy writing and performing this now because she's not gonna be able to get away with this material much longer.

I guess what I'm saying is Avril Lavigne has my permission to continue to exist. She doesn't offend me.
