One of These Things

She don't look the same as the other girls do All the wrong clothes and last year's shoes When it comes to being cool, she don't have a clue She don't look the same as the other girls do Never felt more alone than she did that day, Waiting for someone to even ask for her name That night, bitter tears rolled down her face She never felt more alone than she did that day And she don't understand what went so wrong, why it's hard to belong She's wide awake, Just left to wonder why one of these things just ain't like the other Yea, one of these things just ain't like the other? She saw him downtown at the bar where she plays He gave her a look that swept her away And her heart skipped a beat when he walked her Way, then he walked right past to the arms of an angel And she don't understand why she ain't enough for a man to love Another long night awake just left to wonder Why one of these things just ain't like the other Yea, one of these things just ain't like the other? She holds her breath as she stares at her Name, held up in lights on another nice stage Singin' her heart out to others like her who know how it feels to Be lost in the world, who know how it feels to be lost in the world And they know what it's like to have been All alone, on the outside is where we belong And when we're together, We don't have to wonder why one of these things just ain't Like the other, yea, one of these things just ain't like the other It's okay for these things to be not like the other.
