From:
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 sitting there
I don't know what I did
But since then
How the tides have turned
Cos I used to be the loser kid,
Who always ran away and hid,
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 wont forget me
Cos I live with Miss Mackenzie
And now it's all history
And I put it all behind me
Look at what I've become
I get recognised in the street
And everyone I meet
Remembers the news I made
(Bridge)
But since then
How the tides have turned
Cos I used to be the loser kid,
Who always ran away and hid,
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 wont forget me
Cos I live with Miss Mackenzie
When I see the way you look at me
It takes me back to how it used to be
And it's still clear
The way you locked the classroom door
And whispered in my ear
"You're what I go to school for,
You are
The one I go to school for"
Cos I used to be the loser kid,
Who always ran away and hid,
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 wont forget me
Cos I live with Miss Mackenzie
