Fortune frowned on me
She's a big girl, and she got me
Now I'm down the hall
I'm the last door, on the east wing
[Chorus]
You don't know what it's like to be like me
You don't know what it's like to go between
I'll write a weekly letter
And keep you wondering what it means
To be like me
Someday I'll be strong
I'll find a nice girl and a new car
Escape my destiny
I'm gonna break out, I'm gonna shake out
[Chorus]
I'll move to a strange and distant land
And change ever after who I am
[Chorus]
I'll never get much better, but I don't mind
She's a big girl, and she got me
Now I'm down the hall
I'm the last door, on the east wing
[Chorus]
You don't know what it's like to be like me
You don't know what it's like to go between
I'll write a weekly letter
And keep you wondering what it means
To be like me
Someday I'll be strong
I'll find a nice girl and a new car
Escape my destiny
I'm gonna break out, I'm gonna shake out
[Chorus]
I'll move to a strange and distant land
And change ever after who I am
[Chorus]
I'll never get much better, but I don't mind
