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


But since then
How the tides have turned


Cause 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 won't forget me
Cause I live with Miss Mackenzie


And now it's all history
And I've 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


But since then
How the tides have turned


Cause 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 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
And still it's 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"


Cause 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 won't forget me
Cause I live with Miss Mackenzie


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 won't forget me
Cause I live with Miss Mackenzie.
