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 everbody wants to know,
What I do and where I go,
At least they won't forget me,
'cause I live with Miss Mackenzie.

And now it's all history,
And I put it all behind me,
I get recognized in the street,
And everyone I meet,
Remembers the news I made
(Bridge)

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 everbody wants to know,
What I do and where I go,
At least they won't forget me,
'cause I live with Miss Mackenzie.

When I see the way you look at me,
It takes me back to how it used to be.
And still it's clear,
The way you locked the classroom dor,
And whispered in my ear..
'Your what I go to school for',

You are,
The one I go to school for
(Ad Lib)

'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 everbody wants to know,
What I do and where I go,
At least they won't forget me,
'cause I live with Miss Mackenzie.
