10. “Contagious” Uh oh When you're around I don't know what to do I do not think that I can wait To go over and to talk to you I do not know what I should say And I walk out in silence That's when I start to realize What you bring to my life Damn this guy can make me cry It's so contagious I cannot get it out of my mind It's so outrageous You make me feel so high all the time uh oh They all say that you're no good for me But I'm too close to turn around I'll show them they don't know anything I think I've got you figured out So I walk out in silence That's when I start to realize What you bring to my life Damn this guy can make me smile It's so contagious I cannot get it out of my mind It's so outrageous You make me feel so high I give you everything I treat you right If you just give me a chance I can prove I'm right I chose this because Avril Lavigne is my favorite singer. She is very pretty and I love her style. I have always loved her. Her songs are great because they have all different styles. Sometimes they are very rock songs (I love listening to them when I’m angry). Sometimes more calm and relaxing songs that help me relax. I love a song by her called I Can Do Better, which is addressed to her ex-boyfriend. In this song she says « I could not give a damn what you say to me ». Another song that I love is « Contagious ». This a love song. The lyrics correspond to my feeling for a boy.
