In class, it's not so bad
But when school's out and the others go off to enjoy themselves, well
If you're what they call a shy guy, that's when you really feel it
The odd loneliness of being new in town
You don't know how to make people like you
And you find yourself holding a grudge against them
You're standing on the outside, looking in
You might have something to contribute to their conversation
But nobody cares whether you do or not
There's a barrier

And you don't know how to begin breaking it down
You imagine they keep watching the way you look, the way you act
They think you're different
So, you head for home
What else?
But still, you can't forget that you're alone
An outsider
