I Never Was a Cool One

(c) 2008 Ami Worthen

Chorus:
I never was a cool one, I, never was I
I never was a cool one, I, never was I

Never had the right clothes, never had the right friends,
never said the right things
never was I

Always got good grades, always did my homework,
the teachers all liked me
never was I

Never had a boyfriend, never went steady,
never got a date to the movies
never was I

Didn’t wear name brands, always had bad hair,
had to wear headgear
never was I

Never wore a two piece, always wore tube socks,
didn’t like pop rocks
never was I

Didn’t like sports, didn’t have the right hobbies,
couldn’t play Pac-Man
never was I

Didn’t make cheerleading, couldn’t wear make-up,
never got in trouble
never was I

Listened to Purple Rain, thought it would corrupt my brain,
but I liked it just the same
never was I

Tried to sniff airplane glue, couldn’t do the Rubix Cube,
had white Ked shoes
never was I

Read Little House on the Prairie and became a vegetarian,
back then it wasn’t very in
never was I

99 Red Balloons, talked on the phone in my room,
wished I could grow up soon
never was I
