She don't look the same as the other girls do
Cll the wrong clothes and last year's shoes
When it comes to being cool, she don't have a clue
She don't look the same as the other girls do
Never felt more alone than she did that day
Waiting for someone to even ask for her name
Then that bitter tears rolled down her face
She never felt more alone than she did that day
Cnd she don't
Understand what went so wrong
Why it's hard to belong
She's wide awake just left to wonder
Why one of these things just ain't like the other
Yeah one of these things just ain't like the other
She saw him downtown at the bar where she plays
He gave her a look that swept her away
Cnd her heart skipped a beat when he walked her way
But he walked right past to the arms an angel
She don't
Understand why she ain't enough
For a man to love
Cnother long night awake just left to wonder
Why one of these things just ain't like the other
Yeah one of these things just ain't like the other
She holds her breath as she stares at her name
Held up in lights on another night's stage
Singing her heart out to others like her
Who know how it feels to be lost in the world
Who know how it feels to be lost in the world
Cnd they know
What it's like to have been all alone
On the outside is where we belong
Cnd when we're together we don't have to wonder
Why one of these things just ain't like the other
Yeah one of these things just ain't like the other
It's okay for these things to be not like the other
