This Is Me, Fo' Real Lyrics by Avril Lavigne

This Is Me, Fo' Real

This is who i really am.
the girl ive always been
ive never been that great of a singer
thats why i sound so bad live.

i dont really know how to play guitar
i can only strum one chord.
im not much of a skateboarder
but i skate when im on camera
so people can think i skate

chorus
this is me FO' REAL!
im not lyin this time.
this is me FO' REAL!
im not pretendin' anymore.

I'm not as punk as you think i am
i only dress like this so people will like me more
i have findly figured out
that just dressing hardcore.
does not make me all punk

Repeat [chorus]

I thought i sung punk, hardcore songs
but i realized i sing pop.
i have finally seen the light
the light bulb has come on in my head.
i sing love songs, although i hate to admit it

Repeat CHORUS [2X]

I didnt really write my songs
when i was 16 years old
although i took all the credit
there were other people
who helped me.

I like to play hockey
i like to snowboard
and other extreme stuff
but WOOHOO! i realized
i wasnt the only girl
who did stuff like this.

Why'd i have to make things so complicated
i see the way im actin like somebody else
gets people frustrated.
i fall, and i crawl, and i break
and i take what i get
and i turned it into. im never gonna
fake like that no more
cause this is me fo' real.

Repeat CHORUS til fade out.
