What The Hell

You say that I'm messing with your head
All 'cause I was making out with your friend
Love hurts whether it's right or wrong
I can't stop 'cause I'm having too much fun

You're on your knees
Begging, "Please
Stay with me"
But honestly
I just need to be
A little crazy

All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "what the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about...

If you love me
If you hate me
You can't save me
Baby, baby
All my life I've been good
But now...
What the hell?

What?
What?
What?
What the hell?

So what if I go out on a million dates?
You never call or listen to me anyway
I'd rather rage than sit around and wait all day
Don't get me wrong, I just need some time to play

You're on your knees
Begging, "Please
Stay with me"
But honestly
I just need to be
A little crazy

All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about...

If you love me
If you hate me
You can't save me
Baby, baby
All my life I've been good
But now...
What the hell?

La, la, la, la, la, la
Whoa, whoa
La, la, la, la, la, la
Whoa, whoa

You say that I'm messing with your head
Boy, I like messing in your bed
Yeah, I am messing with your head when
I'm messing with you in bed

All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about
All my life I've been good,
But now...
I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about...

(If you love me)

If you love me
If you hate me
You can't save me
Baby, baby
(If you love me)
All my life I've been good
But now...
What the hell?

Push

Been seein' too much of you lately
And you're starting to get on my nerves.
This is exactly what happened last time and it's not what we deserve
It's a, a waste of my time lately
And I'm running out of words
If it's really meant to be
Then you can find a way to see

[Chorus:]
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love.
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love

Love Love Love

It's really great to be with you
This is how I spend my life
But I'm capable of taking care of myself
So if you f--k this up then go take a hike
It's a waste of my time
Shakin' it up,
Goin' out to search if it's really meant to be
Then you could find a way to see

[Chorus:]
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby cause this is love.
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us

Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love

[Bridge:]
You and me
We can both start over
Just the two of us
We can get a little closer

So follow me
Honestly
And you will see.. Yeah

[Chorus:]
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love.
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love

Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love.
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love Love Love

Wish You Were Here

I can be tough
I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all

There's a girl
who gives a shit
behind this wall
You've just walked through it

And I remember, all those crazy things you said
You left them riding through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

I love the way you are
It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say like it is
And the truth is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
You left them riding through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

[Chorus:]
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

[Bridge:]
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you to know
That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go)

No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you to know
That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here (I wish you were)
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.

Smile

You know that I'm a crazy bitch
[voice] I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
But you don't really give a shit
[voice] you don't let it go let it go with it
cause you're f*cking crazy rock'n'roll

[Bridge]
you said hey
what's your name
it took one look
and now I'm not the same
yeah you said hey
and since that day
you stole my heart
and you're the one to blame

[Chorus]
Yeah
and that's why I smile
It's been a while
since every day and everything has
felt this right
and now you're turning all around
and suddenly you're all I need
The reason why I smile

That's not a black out I think
[voice] What did you, what did you put in my drink
I remember making out but then
I woke up with a new tattoo
[voice] your name was on me and my name was on you
I will do it all over again

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

You know that I'm a crazy bitch
I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
You know that I'm a crazy bitch
I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control

Stop Standing There

All this talking to you
I don't know what I'm to do
I don't know where you stand
What's inside of your head

All this thinkin' of you
Is that what you're doing too?
You're always on my mind
I talk about you all of the time

[Chorus]
Don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face
Just to show you how much I'm in it
So open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I can show you who I am
You're just standing by
You're just wasting time
Why don't you just tell me the truth
About me and you

And as the time goes by
I hope you realize
If you ask me to,
I just might be with you

[Chorus]
So don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face

Just to show you how much I'm in it
Open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I can show you who I am

Stop standing there
Standing there
And stop acting like you don't care
Stop being scared, being scared
Stop acting like you don't care

[Chorus]
So don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face
Just to show you how much I'm in it
Open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I can show you who I am

So don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face
Just to show you how much I'm in it
Open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I can show you who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

Everybody Hurts

Don't know, don't know if I can do this on my own
Why do you have to leave, me
It seems, I'm losing something deep inside of me
Hold on, onto me

Now I see
Now I see

Everybody hurts some days
It's okay to be afraid
Everybody hurts
Everybody screams
Everybody feels this way
And it's okay
La di da di da
It's okay

It feels like nothing really matters anymore
When you're gone
I can't breathe
And I know you never meant to make me feel this way
This can't be happening

Now I see (now I see)
Now I see

Everybody hurts some days
It's okay to be afraid
Everybody hurts
Everybody screams
Everybody feels this way
And it's okay
La di da di da
It's okay
La la la la la

So many questions so much on my mind
So many answers I can't find
I wish I could turn back the time
I want to

Everybody hurts some days (some days)
Everybody hurts some days (some days)
Everybody hurts some days (some days)
Its okay to be afraid (afraid)

Everybody hurts
Everybody screams
Everybody feels this way
Its okay
La di da di da

La la la la la
It's okay

Everybody hurts some days
Its okay to be afraid

Everybody hurts some days
Yeah we all feel pain
Everybody feels this way
It'll be okay
Can't somebody take me away to a better place
Everybody feels this way

La di da di da
It's okay
La la la la la
It's okay
La di da di da
It's okay
La la la la la

Not Enough

I'm sorry if this hurts you,
But I tried to keep what we had once,
I was wrong it wasn't keeping me awake,

You didn't listen, you didn't listen
You didn't hear me, you didn't hear me
When I said I want more, I got no more
You weren't stealing me away

Oh it's not enough,
It's not enough to give me what it is I want
It's not enough,
It's not enough to get me, everything I need
And I, I wish it was
I think it's time to give this up

All, all, all, all
All, all, all, all, all
All the memories that we're losing
All the time that I spent with you everyday
I think is running down the drain

I'm feeling (feelin') that we're fading
Don't make this as hard as you think it would be
It's a lot easier than it seems yeah

It's not enough,
It's not enough to give me what it is I want
It's not enough,
It's not enough to get me, everything I need
And I, I wish it was
I think it's time to give this up

And I can feel we're falling down slowly, slowly
I can see us starting to drown, can't stop it now
I can see we're burning out
So show me, show me
How you gonna turn it around?
Because

It's not enough
Its not enough to give me what it is I want
It's not enough
Its not enough to get me everything I need
It's not enough
Its not enough to give me what it is I want
It's not enough
Its not enough to get me everything I need
And I wish it was
I think its time to give this up

It's not enough
It's not enough to give me what it is I want

4 Real

If I show you
Get to know you
If I hold you just for today
I'm not gonna wanna let go
I'm not gonna wanna go home
Tell me you feel the same

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm for real
Are you for real?
I can't help myself
It's the way I feel
When you look me in the eyes like you did last night
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
But it feels so right
'Cause it feels so right just to have you standing by my side
So don't let me go
Cause you have my soul

And I just wanted you to know
I don't wanna look back
Cause I know that we have
Something the past could never change.
And I'm stuck in the moment
And my heart is open
Tell me that you feel the same

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm for real
Are you for real?
I can't help myself
It's the way I feel
When you look me in the eyes like you did last night
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
Well it feels so right
'Cause it feels so right just to have you standing by my side
So don't let me go

Cause you have my soul
And I just wanted you to know

Hold (Hold) me down (me down)
Hold (Hold) me now
I'm safe (I'm safe)
I'm sound (sound)
When you're around
Hold (Hold) me down (me down)
Hold (Hold) me now

I'm sound (sound)
When you're around

When you look me in the eyes like you did last night
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
Well it feels so right
'Cause it feels so right just to have you standing by my side
So don't let me go
Cause you have my soul
And I just wanted you to know

'Cause I'm for real
Are you for real?

When you look me in the eyes like you did last night

you 're hiding in the closet once again,
start smiling
I know you're trying
real hard not to turn your head away

face tomorrow, tomorrow is not yesterday
Yesterday oh oooooh

Pretty please

I wish you could be happy instead
There's nothing else I can do
But love you the best that I can

I was there once a while ago
I know
that it's hard to be stuck with
people that you love
when nobody trusts

You're not the only one who's been trough
I've been there alone and now so are you
I just want you to know, want you to know it's not your fault.

Remember When

Remember when I cried to you a thousand times
I told you everything
You know my feelings
It never crossed my mind
That there would be a time
For us to say goodbye
What a big surprise

But I'm not lost
I'm not gone
I haven't forgot

These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again

Remember when

I remember when it was together till the end
Now I'm alone again
Where do I begin?
I cried a little bit
You died a little bit
Please say there's no regrets
And say you won't forget
But I'm not lost
And I'm not gone
I haven't forgot

These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again

Remember when
That was then
Now it's the end
I'm not coming back
I can't pretend
Remember when

These feelings I can't shake no more
These feelings are running out the door
I can feel it falling down
And I'm not coming back around
These feelings I can't take no more
This emptiness in the bottom drawer
It's getting harder to pretend
And I'm not coming back around again

Goodbye Lullaby is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. It was released worldwide on March 8, 2011 through RCA Records. Recording sessions for the album began in November 2008 and continued over a period of nearly two years, concluding in October 2010. Goodbye Lullaby is a primarily a pop rock album and is considered a more introspective record from Lavigne in comparison to her previous material, consisting mainly of stripped down instruments such as the piano and acoustic guitar. Lavigne assumed an integral role in the album's production and co-wrote every original track on Goodbye Lullaby, as well as collaborating with several producers including Max Martin, Shellback, Butch Walker, and her ex-husband Deryck Whibley. Goodbye Lullaby is Lavigne's third and final studio album with RCA, following The Best Damn Thing (2007) and Under My Skin (2004)

Upon its release, Goodbye Lullaby received generally mixed reviews from music critics, with some naming it her most personal and introspective album while others took issue with its subdued sound and Lavigne's lyrical content. The album debuted inside the top five in over 15 countries such as the United States and Canada (where it has since been certified gold) and topping the charts in over eight countries, such as Australia, Greece, Hong Kong and Japan.

Goodbye Lullaby has sold 1.5 million copies worldwide as of 2013. Three singles were released from Goodbye Lullaby. "What the Hell" was released as the lead single in January 2011 and achieved worldwide chart success, reaching the top 20 in the United States and United Kingdom, the top ten in Europe and Australia and the top five in Asia. The following singles, "Smile" and "Wish You Were Here", had moderate chart success worldwide. The album also includes an extended version of the soundtrack single for Alice in Wonderland (2010), titled "Alice". Lavigne promoted the album with a series of live performances and later embarked on the Black Star Tour (2011).
