VERSE 1
I had a plan at 10 years old, to try my best, do as I'm told, but that don't catch the pretty peoples' eye
I didn't have the coolest hair, the nicest clothes or the richest parents so I sat alone as the pretty girls walked by

VERSE 2
With age comes insecurity, embarrassment and tragedy, increasing fear of growing old lonely
I said I put on my dancing shoes but I got two left feet and no good moves, the pretty girls found cooler kids than me
