Avril Speaks Mandarin...Really

In the interests of improving world relations, Avril Lavigne recorded multiple versions (7) of her first single, "Girlfriend," with the chorus in various languages. And you can listen to the Mandarin version over on Idolator here!

... and here are the lyrics (at least, as far as I can make it out!)

(Chinese)

Hey, hey, you, you
我不喜欢你的女朋友
No way, no way
你需要一个新的
Hey, hey, you, you
我可以做的女朋友

Hey, hey, you, you
我知道你喜欢我
No way, no way
不是一个秘密
Hey, hey, you, you
我要当你的女朋友

You're so fine I want you mine you're so delicious
I think about you all the time you're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright (Alright...)

Don't pretend I think you know
I'm damn precious
And hell yeah
I'm the mother fucking princess
I can tell you like me too
And you know I'm right (I'm right...)

She's like so whatever
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about

Hey, hey, you, you
我不喜欢你的女朋友
No way, no way
你需要一个新的
Hey, hey, you, you
我可以做的女朋友

Hey, hey, you, you
我知道你喜欢我
No way, no way
不是一个秘密
Hey, hey, you, you
我要当你的女朋友

I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again (Again and again...)

So come over here and tell me what I wanna hear
Better yet, make your girlfriend disappear
I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again (And again...)

Because...

She's like so whatever
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about

Hey, hey, you, you
我不喜欢你的女朋友
No way, no way
你需要一个新的
Hey, hey, you, you
我可以做的女朋友

Hey, hey, you, you
我知道你喜欢我
No way, no way
不是一个秘密
Hey, hey, you, you
我要当你的女朋友

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better
There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in
She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

Hey, hey, you, you
我不喜欢你的女朋友
No way, no way
你需要一个新的
Hey, hey, you, you
我可以做的女朋友
(No way, no way)

Hey, hey, you, you
我知道你喜欢我
No way, no way
不是一个秘密
Hey, hey, you, you
我要当你的女朋友
(No way, no way...)

Hey, hey, you, you
我不喜欢你的女朋友 (No way!)
No way, no way
你需要一个新的 (Hey!)
Hey, hey, you, you
我可以做的女朋友 (No way, no way)

Hey, hey, you, you
我知道你喜欢我 (Now way!)
No way, no way
不是一个秘密 (Hey!)
Hey, hey, you, you
我要当你的女朋友 (No way, now way)

Hey, hey!
