When you were three
I was just four
You were the cute little girl next door
We played hide and seek
Kissed on the cheek
The cowboys and indians
You and me
Your ribbons and braids, pink lemonade
Wings and a halo had it made
I was your knight, you were my queen
Fought all the dragons in the dreams
Thought I had you figured out
"Read my lips" she screemed
"Na nana na na!"
"L is for loser" she said
"What were you thinking?
What's going on inside your head?
L is for loser my friend
Ain't got a clue here
What's going on inside your stupid head?"
When you were eight, love turned to hate
Daddy left home, you moved interstate
My angel was lost, her halo tossed
Wings in tatters, dreams to dust
At nine I was cool, broke all the rules
Messed up the teacher, got kicked outta school
They said "You won't get far with your drums and guitar"
Well speak to the hand, cause I'm a rockstar
(2, 3, 4!)
Thought you had me figured out
"Read my lips" I screamed
"Na nana na na!"
"L is for loser" I said
"What were you thinking?
What's going on inside your head?
L is for loser my friend
Ain't got a clue here
What's going on inside your stupid head?"
L-O-S-E-R
Ain't gonna work gonna get you far
L-O-S-E-R
Now at thirteen, how bad could it get?
All pimples and braces and teacher's pet
Hooked up with some guy, turned into a creep
Reap what you sow, she said "Read it and weep"
Called me on the phone, said you were alone
You're on the next train, you're coming home
Now she was sixteen, she was legal and keen
The sweetest of dreams, you know what I mean
"Read my lips" she screamed
"Na nana na na!"
"I was a loser" she said
"What was I thinking?
What's going on inside my head?
L is for loser my friend
Just you and me here
Let's work it out and get it on instead"
Let's work it out and get it on instead
