Every time you go away
It actually kinda makes my day
Every time 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�d 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, 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 now for you
I don�t give a damn about you
I won�t give it up now 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�
(Repeat to fade)

    General Comment:hey...can't you actually talk about the song instead of bashing avril??
    this song has a great message...i think in the live version, where i first heard it (on the my world dvd) she actually sing 'i don't give a damn, i don't give a shit' but on the complicated single it's 'i don't give it up, i don't give a damn'. i like the first version better...but either way it's really good.

    General Comment:and i don't get why people hate her so fuckin much. I mean i don't just mean hate I mean really really FUCKIN hate her. Their acting as if shes their worst enemy at school where i doubt any of them have ever even met her. I mean i only like Avril's music, i've read a few interviews and personally i think she sounds a little like a bitch. But i'm not gonna start hating her to the bone and call her THE BIGGEST FUCKIN POSER ON EARTH!!!!!!! because i doubt she is. All she ever did was become famous and try to get a few extra fans by saying this and that. Besides, shes wayyyy more mature now and i doubt what any of you are saying about her is true anymore.

    Oh and p.s don't start calling me a fucking poser or anything because what i'm saying is true. So if you wanna call me a poser and start a big cyber war, you can go fuck yourself and blow your fuckin head off,lol *smiles sweetly*

    General Comment:Has Avril ever said she was punk? I mean i thought the only thing she said she was was a skater cause she wore clothes like that and skated a little. It's all the stupid magazines that have said shes punk. I'm pretty sure she knows shes not punk, atleast it should be ovbious.

    This songs okay, def not her best though.

    General Comment:It isn't on my Let Go CD... It's in American Pie: The Wedding. At the engagement party bit.

    If you get the My World DVD, you can see her playing it live, but otherwise I don't know where you can get it... I suppose it's on the American Pie the Wedding soundtrack, and some say it's the bonus track on the Let go album, but it's not on mine!
