Lyrics
When I was in middle-school, I had a group of friends
We wore jean jackets and sunglasses and listened to Duran Duran
There were six of us so when we played it didn't add up, you see
Everybody had a Duran Duran boyfriend, but me
I wasn't dating Nick Rhodes, I wasn't dating Roger Taylor
I wasn't dating John Taylor, I wasn't dating Andy Taylor
I wasn't dating Simon LeBon
I was sitting by myself with my collar up
A tear in my eye and an ache in my heart, and my converse on
My converse on
My glow-in-the-dark with pink fat laces, zebra-striped, converse on
So if you are a kid and no one will play with you, stick it out
Stay tough, and you'll turn out super-cool
When I go to a party, everybody looks the same
I'm the one they recognize
Everybody knows my name
Everybody knows my name
Be yourself, don't do what other people tell you to do
Be yourself, be proud of yourself
You'll be cool, super cool
Don't be uncool
