Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm sorry. I can explain.

Explain how you forgot to invite us to your party?

Janis, I cannot stop this car. I have a curfew.

You know I couldn't invite you. I had to pretend to be plastic.

Hey, buddy, you're not pretending anymore.

You're plastic.

Cold, shiny, hard plastic.

Daniel: Curfew, 1 a.M. It is now 1:10.

Did you have an awesome time?

Did you drink awesome shooters and listen to awesome music,

And then just sit around

And soak up each other's awesomeness?

You know what? You're the one who made me like this

So you could use me for your eighth-grade revenge.

God! See, at least me and regina george know we're mean.

You try to act like you're so innocent.

Like, "oh, I used to live in africa

With all the little birdies and the little monkeys."

You know what? It's not my fault

You're in love with me or something!

What?! Oh, no she did not!

See? That is the thing with you plastics.

You think that everybody is in love with you,

When actually, everybody hates you.

Like aaron samuels, for example.

He broke up with regina and guess what.

He still doesn't want you.

So why are you still messing with regina, cady?

I'll tell you why.

Because you are a mean girl!

You're a bitch!

Here. You can have this. It won a prize.

And I want my pink shirt back!

I want my pink shirt back!

( <i>subdued african theme plays</i> )

Hon, slow down.
