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

'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 McKenzie

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've 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 McKenzie

And then I see
The way you look at me
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 McKenzie

'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 McKenzie
