[Verse 1]

Would you believe that about what it's like to be on the outside?

Wouldn't you wonder what it's like to be out back?

I'll have you know, well actually, no

I wonder what it would become

[Verse 2]

I'm hardly invited

And by sheer miracle

I don't like to talk, I don't like to converse

I'm tired of singing this verse

I wonder what it's like to be up front

It's easy enough to be in the back

[Bridge]

In times gone by

Maybe I'm used to it

Used to what other people are used to

Of what I am, what I was, and what I'll be

In a world so widе, I'm on the outside

Wonderin' what it's likе, to be behind that ride

No invitations, hardly ever cited

In this silent world, I've been slighted

In days of old, maybe I got bold

Used to the solitude, never sold

I am what I am, what I was, what I'll be

I'm finally free
