Perfect Misfit Lyrics - Liz Phair

when i walk down the hall 

i hold my head up high 

everybody's looking, dosen't mean they like me 

its not so great to stand out from the crowd 

i'm an easy target 

they know where to find me 

run a race an' i win it 

sovle your problem in a minute 

it's not a mystery why i'm a misfit 

here's what's bad about being good 

nobody thanks you when they should 

do a job right respect, i mean 

why can't they just see me for me? 

walking with my lunch tray passing table after table 

nobody makes room, everyone avoids me 

people everywhere, but i feel so alone here 

"oh she think's she's perfect?" 

"yeah, a perfect misfit" 

run a race an' i win it 

sovle your problem in a minute 

its not a mystery why i'm a misfit 

its not the way i want to be 

here's what's bad about being good 

nobody thanks you when they should 

do a job right respect, i mean 

why can't they just see me for me? 

here's what's bad about being good 

nobody thanks you when they should 

do a job right respect, i mean 

why can't they just see me for me? 

i hold my head up high 

everybodys looking 

dosen't mean they like me 

run a race an' win it 

solve your problem in a minute 

its not a mystery, i'm no misfit 

this is the way i'm gonna be (this is the way i'm gonna be) 

here's what bad about being good 

nobody thanks you when they should 

set a bar high respect, i mean 

why can't they just see me for me? 

here's what's bad about being good 

nobody likes you like they should 

work so hard, why can't they see? 

wish they'd just appreciate me? 

here's what's good about me 

here's what's good about me
