AVRIL LAVIGNE

ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself out

I laugh myself to sleep

It's my lullaby

Sometimes I drive so fast

Just to feel the danger

I wanna scream

It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?

Is it enough to breath?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines

Would make my life so boring

I want to know that I

Have been to the extreme

So knock me off my feet

Come on now give it to me

Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?

Is it enough to breath?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

I'd rahter be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defences

Use no common sense

If you look you will see

that this world is a beautiful

accident turbulent suculent

opulent permanent, no way

I wanna taste it

Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself out

I laugh my self to sleep

It's my lullaby

Is it enough? Is it enough?

Is it enough to breath?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough? Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN

Everytime you go away

It actually kinda makes my day

Everytime you leave

You slam the door

You pick your words so carefully

You hate to think you're hurting me

You leave me laughing on The floor

Cause I don't give it up, I don't give a damn

What you say about that

You know I don't give it up, I don't give a damn

What you say about that

You know I'm not gonna cry, about some stupid guy

A guy who thinks he's all that

I thought we were just hanging out

So why'd you kiss me on the mouth

You thought the way you taste

Would get me high

You went to all your friends to brag

Guys are always such a drag

Don't you know the reason that I kissed you was to

Say goodbye

Cause I don't give it up

I don't give a damn what you say about that

You know I don't give it up

I don't give a damn what you say about that

You know I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy

A guy who thinks he's all that

Hanging hanging out, I am simply

Hanging so why'd you kiss me on the mouth?

Don't you know that I...

I don't give a damn about you

I won't give it up not for you

I don't give a damn about you

I won't give it up not for you

I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy

A guy who thinks he's all that

I don't give it up

I don't give a damn what you say about that

You know I don't give it up

I don't give a damn what you say about that

I don't give it up

I don't give a damn what you say about that

You know I don't give it up

I don't give a damn what you say about that

I'M WITH YOU

I'm Standing on a bridge

I'm waitin in the dark

I thought that you'd be here by now

Theres nothing but the rain

No footsteps on the ground

I'm listening but theres no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Wont you take me by the hand

take me somewhere new

I dont know who you are

but I... I'm with you

searching for a face

cause nothings going right

and everythigns a mess

and no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Wont you take me by the hand

LOSING GRIP

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 I was left to cry there,

waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare

That's when I decided

[chorus]

Why should I care

Cuz 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 place 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 I was left to cry there

waiting outside there grinning with a lost stare

That's when I decided

[chorus]

Crying out loud I'm crying out loud

Open your eyes Open up wide

Why should I care Cuz you weren't there

when I was scared I was so alone Why should I care

Cuz 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 were not going newhere

Why should I care cuz 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 were not going nowhere

MOBILE

Went back home again

this sucks gotta pack up and leave again

say goodbye to all my friends

can't say when I'll be there again

It's time now to turn around

Turn my back on

EVERYTHING (turn my back on) everything....

[chorus]

Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile.

Start back at this life

Stretch myself back into the vibe

I'm waking up to say I've tried

Instead of waking up to another TV GUIDE

It's time now to turn around

Turn and walk on this crazy ground oh oh oh....

[chorus]

Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile

Everythings changing out of what I know everywhere I go I'm a mobile

I'm a mobile

Hanging from the ceiling lifes a mobile spinning round

with mixed feelings crazy & wild ...

sometimes I wanna SCREAM OUT LOUD ....

Everythings changing everywhere I go

All out of my control Everythings changing

everywhere I go out of what I know

la la la la la la (la la)

la la la la la la (la la la)

la la la la la la

[chorus]

Everythings changing when I turn around all out of my control I'm a mobile

Everythings changing out of what I know everywhere I go I'm a mobile

I'm a mobile

MY WORLD

Please tell me what is taking place,

Cause I can't seem to find a trace,

Guess it must've got erased somehow,

Probably cause I always forget,

Everytime someone tells me their name,

It's always gotta be the same.

(In my World)

Never wore cover-up,

Always beat the boys up,

Grew up in a 5000 population town,

Made my money by cutting grass,

Got fired by fried chicken ass,

All in a small town, Napanee.

You know I always stay up without sleepin',

And think to myself,

Where do I belong forever,

In whose arms, the time and place?

[Chorus:]

Can't help if I space in a daze,

My eyes tune out the other way,

I may switch off and go in a daydream,

In this head my thoughts are deep,

But sometimes I can't even speak,

Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World

I never spend less than an hour,

Washin' my hair in the shower,

It always takes 5 hours to make it straight,

So I'll braid it in a zillion braids,

Though it may take all friggen day,

There's nothin' else better to do anyway.

When you're all alone in the lands of forever,

Lay under the milky way,

On and on it's getting too late out,

I'm not in love this time this night.

[Chorus:]

Can't help if I space in a daze,

My eyes tune out the other way,

I may switch off and go in a daydream,

In this head my thoughts are deep,

But sometimes I can't even speak,

Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World

(la la la la)

Take some time,

Mellow out,

Party up,

But don't fall down,

Don't get caught,

Sneak out of the house.

[Chorus:]

Can't help if I space in a daze,

My eyes tune out the other way,

I may switch off and go in a daydream,

In this head my thoughts are deep,

But sometimes I can't even speak,

Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World

Can't help if I space in a daze,

My eyes tune out the other way,

I may switch off and go in a daydream,

In this head my thoughts are deep,

But sometimes I can't even speak,

Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my World

NAKED

I wake up in the morning

Put on my face

The one that's gonna get me

Through another day

Doesn't really matter

How I feel inside

'Cause life is like a game sometimes

But then you came around me

The walls just disappeared

Nothing to surround me

And keep me from my fears

I'm unprotected

See how I've opened up

Oh, you've made me trust

Because I've nver felt like this before

I'm naked

Around you Does it show?

You see right through me

And I can't hide I'm naked

Around you And it feels so right

I'm tyring to remember

Why I was afraid

To be myself and let the

Covers fall away

I guess I never had someone like you

To help me, to help me fit

In my skin

I never felt like this before

I'm naked Around you

Does it show? You see right through me

And I can't hide I'm naked

Around you And it feels so right

I'm naked Oh oh yeah

Does it show? Yeah, I'm naked

Oh oh, yeah yeah

I'm so naked around you

And I can't hide

You're gonna see right through, baby

NOBODY'S FOOL

Fall back Take a look at me

And you'll see I'm for real

I feel what only I can feel

And if that don't appeal to you

Let me know And I'll go

'Cuz I flow Better when my colors show

And that's the way it has to be

Honestly

'Cuz creativity could never bloom

In my room

I'd throw it all away before I lie

So don't call me with a compromise

Hang up the phone

I've got a backbone stronger than yours

La la la la la la

[chorus]

If you're trying to turn me into someone else

Its easy to see I'm not down with that

I'm not nobody's fool

If you're trying to turn me into something else

I've seen enough and I'm over that

I'm not nobody's fool

If you wanna bring me down

Go ahead and try

You don't know You think you know me like yourself

But I fear

That you're only telling me what I wanna hear

But do you give a damn Understand

That I can't not be what I am

I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon

Its not a simple hearing but not so soon

I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen

And a little more green

But its amazing what a couple of years can mean

La la la la la la

[chorus]

Go ahead and try

Try and look me in the eye

But you'll never see inside

Until you realize, realize

Things are trying to settle down

Just try to figure out

Exactly what I'm about

If its with or without you

I don't need you doubting me

[chorus]

La la la la la la

Would you be laughing out loud

If I played to my own crowd Try

SK8ER BOY

He was a boy She was a girl

Can i make it any more obvious

He was a punk She did ballet

What more can i say He wanted her

She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well

But all of her friends Stuck up their nose

They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy

She said see you later boy

He wasn't good enough for her

She had a pretty face

But her head was up in space

She needed to come back down to earth

5 years from now She sits at home

Feeding the baby she's all alone

She turns on tv Guess who she sees

Skater boy rockin up MTV

She calls up her friends

They already know And they've all got

Tickets to see his show She tags along

Stands in the crowd

Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy

She said see you later boy

He wasn't good enough for her

Now he's a super star

Slamming on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

He was a skater boy

She said see you later boy

He wasn't good enough for her

Now he's a super star

Slamming on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

Sorry girl but you missed out

Well tough luck that boy's mine now

We are more than just good friends

This is how the story ends

Too bad that you couldn't see,

See the man that boy could be

There is more that meets the eye

I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy And Im just a girl

Can I make it any more obvious

We are in love Haven't you heard

How we rock eachothers world

I'm with the skater boy

I said see you later boy

I'll be back stage after the show

I'll be at the studio

Singing the song we wrote

About a girl you used to know

I'm with the skater boy

I said see you later boy

I'll be back stage after the show

I'll be at the studio

Singing the song we wrote

About a girl you used to know

THINGS I'LL NEVER SAY

I’m tugging at my hair

I’m pulling at my clothes

I’m trying to keep my cool

I know it shows I’m staring at my feet

My checks are turning red

I’m searching for the words inside my head

[Pre-Chorus]

(Cause) I’m feeling nervous

Trying to be so perfect

Cause I know you’re worth it

You’re worth it Yeah

[Chorus]

If I could say what I want to say

I'd say I wanna blow you... away

Be with you every night

Am I squeezing you too tight

If I could say what I want to see

I want to see you go down

On one knee

Marry me today

Yes, I’m wishing my life away

With these things I’ll never say

It don’t do me any good

It’s just a waste of time

What use is it to you

What’s on my mind

If ain’t coming out

We’re not going anywhere

So why can’t I just tell you that I care

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

What’s wrong with my tongue

These words keep slipping away

I stutter, I stumble

Like I’ve got nothing to say

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes I’m wishing my life away with these things I’ll never say

If I could say what I want to say

I'd say I wanna blow you...away

Be with you every night

Am I squeezing you too tight

If I could say what I want to see

I want to see you go down

On one knee Marry me today

Yes, I’m wishing my life away

With these things I’ll never say

These things I’ll never say

TOMORROW

And I wanna believe you,

When you tell me that it'll be ok,

Ya I try to believe you, But I don't

When you say that it's gonna be,

It always turns out to be a different way,

I try to believe you,

Not today, today, today, today, today...

[Chorus:]

I don't know how I'll feel, tomorrow, tomorrow,

I don't know what to say, tomorrow, tomorrow

Is a different day

It's always been up to you, It's turning around,

It's up to me, I'm gonna do what I have to do,

just don't

Gimme a little time, Leave me alone a little while,

Maybe it's not too late,

not today, today, today, today, today...

[Chorus:]

I don't know how I'll feel, tomorrow, tomorrow,

I don't know what to say, tomorrow, tomorrow

Is a different day

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not ready,

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know I'm not ready,

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow

And I wanna believe you,

When you tell me that it'll be ok,

Yeah I try to believe you,

Not today, today, today, today, today...

Tomorrow it may change [4x]

TOO MUCH TO ASK

Its the first time I ever felt this lonely

I wish someone could cure this pain

Its funny when you think its gonna work out

Til you chose weed over me, you're so lame

I thought you were cool until the point

But up until the point you didnt call me

When you said you would

I finally figured out youre all the same

Always coming up with some kind of story

Everytime I try to make you smile

You're always feeling sorry for yourself

Everytime I try to make you laugh

You can't Youre too tough

You think you're loveless

Is that too much that I'm asking for?

I thought you'd come around when I ignored you

So I thought you'd have the decency to change

But babe, I guess you didn't take that warning

'Cause I'm not about to look at your face again

Can't you see that you lie to yourself

You can't see the world through a mirror

It wont be too late when the smoke clears

'Cause I, I am still here

But everytime I try to make you smile

You'd always grow up feeling sorry for yourself

Everytime I try to make you laugh

You stand like a stone

Alone in your zone

Is it too much that I'm asking for?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can't find where i am

Lying here Alone I fear

Afraid of the dark

No one to claim

Alone again

Can't you see that you lie to yourself

You can't see the world through a mirror

It wont be too late when the smoke clears

'Cause I, I am still here

Everytime I try to make you smile

You're always feeling sorry for yourself

Everytime I try to make you laugh

You can't You're too tough

You think you're loveless

It was too much that I'm asking for

UNWANTED

All that I did was walk over

Start off by shaking your hands

That's how it went

I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight

Oh, yeah, yeah

I wanted to know you

I wanted to show you

[chorus]

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

You don't want me there

You just shut me out

You don't know me

Don't ignore me

If you had your way

You'd just shut me up

Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why

you won't talk to me

It's hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing

Don't talk words against me

I wanted to know you

I wanted to show you

[chorus]

Make me go away

I tried to belong

It didn't seem wrong

My head aches

Its been so long

I'll write this song

If that's what it take

[chorus (2x)]

Make me go away
