[Verse 1]
Inside jokes that I never know, but I
Still laugh until I cry
Group photos but I'm standing off to the side
I'm just camera shy

[Pre-Chorus]
Always at the birthday parties
(Always at the birthday parties)
But never close to anybody

[Chorus]
I've been chosen last since the kindergarten
Walk in the grass and it's disregarded
Fast walk to the lunch table
And pack up before I'm ready to go
I don't speak my mind, I just sit and listen
I'm there on time 'cause they won't know I'm missing
Sometimes, I would rather stay home
Than show up to be ignored and alone

[Verse 2]
Carpool everywhere, but there's never room
For me to go too
Ride my bike like all of us used to do
Oh, I don't have a clue

[Pre-Chorus]
Why I'm at the birthday parties
(Why I'm at the birthday parties)
When I'm not close to anybody

[Chorus]
I've been chosen last since the kindergarten
Walk in the grass and it's disregarded
Fast walk to the lunch table
And pack up before I'm ready to go
I don't speak my mind, I just sit and listen
I'm there on time 'cause they won't know I'm missing
Sometimes, I would rather stay home
Than show up to be ignored and alone

[Bridge]
La-la-la
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
I've been chosen last since the kindergarten
Walk in the grass and it's disregarded
Fast walk to the lunch table
And pack up before I'm ready to go
I don't speak my mind, I just sit and listen
I'm there on time 'cause they won't know I'm missing
Sometimes, I would rather stay home
Than show up to be ignored and alone
