lyrics

Another recess
Time to play ball
All the kids line up
They’re standing oh so tall
Here come the captains
Time to pick teams
Everyone’s hoping that next they’ll pick me, me, me

I’m deep on the outside
You’re moving way too fast
I’m deep on the outside
Feel like an outcast
Always picked the last by you

It’s after work now
Time for the bar
See all the faces that I know from afar
We came together
Now I’m ready to go
But you’re too busy being a social kinda ho, oh no

I’m deep on the outside
You’re moving way too fast
I’m deep on the outside
Feel like an outcast
Always picked the last by you

Maybe it’s better
If we take separate cars
And if you like we can hit up all the bars
Well I’m gonna go now
Have a great time
I never imagined you’d commit such a crime, crime, crime

I’m deep on the outside
You’re moving way too fast
I’m deep on the outside
Feel like an outcast
Always picked the last

Deep on the outside
No longer in my past
Deep on the outside
I’m no outcast
Won’t be picked the last by you
