Intro: Verso 1: I feel their eyes upon me as I walk across the room I can hear 'em all whispering my name So I tuck in my shoulders and hide the best I can It all happened so fast I can't explain But if I had to I'd tell 'em all I really ain't that special And I'd cry and yell, '"Leave me the hell alone" And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time I'm just a guy with a wounded mind Verso 2: I put on my costume and I put on a show The only way a jester stays alive All they see is glitter and all they hear are rhymes If I could find a new way to survive I'd be glad to I'd tell 'em all I really ain't that special And I'd cry and yell, '"Leave me the hell alone" And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time I'm just a guy with a wounded mind Instrumental Ponte: And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time I'm just a guy with a wounded mind I'd tell 'em all I really ain't that special And I'd cry and yell, '"Leave me the hell alone" And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time I'm just a guy with a wounded mind Outro
