One Of These Things Songtext
von Jessica Mitchell

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.
