Hey little party girl
Where do you wanna go
I didnt come from your scene
So many people that I should know

Like every door guy in this city
Only looks at you cuz youre pretty
And the boutique girls and theme night druggies
Take you in the back
(You put your head on the mirror)

And ooooh baby keeps it with her
Ooh babys got a hand full
Of things she calls excuses
You're real pretty pretty
Youre pretty strung out for a girl

Maybe theres a gas station open
And a little money on my card
So i can buy some half and half
Cuz even mornings they seem so hard

And look at you, you never fell to bed
You're still typing on your phone with your cigarette
Saying i should stop being so cynical
'Cause we're hotter when we dont give a damn
(So smash yer head on the mirror)

And ooooh baby keeps it with her
Ooh babys got a purse full
Of things she calls excuses
You're real pretty pretty
You're pretty strung out for a girl

    General Comment:Probably is about drugs...
    The video was made inspired by the Christiane F. movie.

    General Comment:the songs about a girl he's trying to get with, but she's different from him and just parties a lot. also she is just sleeping with everybody at the clubs she goes to. "the hand/purse full of excuses" is her taking drugs. the "beth" part of the name is just a girls name, nothing more.

    obviously about drugs... maybe this chick keeps pills/drugs in her purse as an excuse to numb the pain of whatever it is

    General Comment:"Caught the amphetamine bit, but why bethamphetamine?"

    It rhymes with methamphetamine.
    And yeah, probably because she (Beth) is so addictive, probably.

    General Comment:This is a really catchy song.
    The frst time I heard it though, I wasnt a fan. Listened a few times more and I love it!
    Haha
    And the video is pretty good. Avril looks better with the blach hair than the bleach blonde thing she has going on.

    General Comment:i think its about a typical party girl who guys take advantage of because shes so pretty. I think to a certain extent she knows this but just tries to act cool and pretend that it doesn't bother her.
