• You don't know my name

    you don't know anything about me

    I try to play nice

    I want to be in your game

    The things that you say

    You may think I never hear about them

    But word travels fast

    I'm telling you to your face

    I'm standing here behind your back



    [Chorus:]

    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    And you don't know how it feels

    To be your own best friend on the outside looking in



    If you could read my mind

    You might see more of me that meets the eye

    And you've been all wrong

    Not who you think I am

    You've never given me a chance



    [Chorus:]

    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    And you don't know how it feels

    To be your own best friend on the outside looking in



    Well, I'm tired of staying at home

    I'm bored and all alone

    I'm sick of wasting all my time



    [Chorus (x2):]

    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    And you don't know how it feels

    To be your own best friend on the outside looking in



    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    And you don't know how it feels

    To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
