Underdog
|
Hey dig!
|
I know how it feels to expect to get a fair shake
|
But they won't let you forget
|
That you're the underdog and you've got to be twice as good (yeah yeah)
|
|
Even if you're never right
|
They get uptight when you get to write
|
Or you might start thinking too much, yeah (yeah yeah)
|
|
I know how it feels when you know you're real
|
But every other time
|
You get up and get a raw deal, yeah (yeah yeah)
|
|
Say I'm the underdog
|
I say I'm the underdog
|
Say I'm the underdog
|
I'm the underdog
|
|
I know how it feels to get demoted
|
When it comes time you got promoted
|
But you might be movin' up too fast, yeah (yeah yeah)
|
|
If you ever love somebody of a different set
|
I bet the set didn't let you forget
|
That it just don't go like that (yeah yeah)
|
|
I know how it feels
|
For people to stop, turn around and stare
|
Say goodbye and they low rate, low rate me (yeah yeah)
|
|
I don't mind I'm the underdog
|
No I can handle it I'm the underdog
|
I'm the underdog, yeah
|
Underdog
|
|
I know how it feels to be played upon
|
See you at the party
|
But you're really, you're really all alone (yeah yeah)
|
They just underestimate me
|
|
I know how it feels when you're feelin' down
|
And you wanna come up but you realize
|
You're in the wrong part of town, yeah (yeah yeah)
|
|
I know how it feels to have to go along
|
With people you don't even know
|
Simply because there happens to be
|
A whole lot more of them, yeah (yeah yeah)
|
|
Say I'm the underdog
|
I'm the underdog
|
I don't mind 'cause I can handle it
|
Underdog, It's gonna be alright
|
I'm the underdog
|
