Avril Lavigne, "Don't Tell Me"

This is a very short week for us here in Taiwan because Tomb Sweeping Day. I want to do something fun and relaxing for my 8th graders. I decided to teach easy song of Avril. My girls like her a lot. I am hopping that my power point will work well.

Teaching English songs here in Taiwan where is not an English speaking country will work very well. Students will like and at the same time, they can learn English by singing.




Lyrics in the following:

"Don't Tell Me"

You held my hand and walked me home, I know
Why you gave me that kiss it was something like this it made me go ooh ohh
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears, why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl?
The one who gives it all away, yeah

[Chorus:]
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do,
Don't try to tell me what to say,
You're better off that way

Don't think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants I'll have to kick your ass and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot, but I'm really upset
Get out of my head get off of my bed yeah that's what I said
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl, the one who, throws it all away

[Chorus]

This guilt trip that you put me on won't, mess me up I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away

[Chorus]

Better off that way
I'm better off alone anyway
