I was always picked last for teams
I wore my sister's jeans
I was a loser kid
And the teachers didn't care
They just left me standin' there
I don't know what I did

And since then (since then)
How the tides have turned

'Cause I used to be the loser kid
I'm always runnin' away, I'm here
And no one took the time to know me
The kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
At least I know thеy won't forget me
'Cause I livе with Miss Mackenzie

And now it's all history
And I put it all behind me
I look at what I've become
Oh, I get recognised in the street
And everyone I meet
Remembers the news I've made

Since then (since then)
How the tides have turned

'Cause I used to be the loser kid
I'm always runnin' away, I'm here
And no one took the time to know me
The kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
At least I know they won't forget me
'Cause I live with Miss Mackenzie

When I see the way you look at me
It takes me back to how it used to be
Still it's clear, the way you locked that classroom door
And whispered in my ear: You're what I go to school for
You are the one I go to school for, yeah

'Cause I used to be the loser kid (yeah)
I'm always runnin' away, I'm here
And no one took the time to know me
The kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
At least I know they won't forget me
'Cause I live with Miss Mackenzie

'Cause I used to be the loser kid (yeah)
I'm always runnin' away, I'm here
And no one took the time to know me
The kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
At least I know they won't forget me
'Cause I live with Miss Mackenzie
