Some people tell me that I look kind of funny My nose is red and the braces didn't work at all They say the clothes I wear are all out of fashion I don't fit in and should be shopping at a different mall I studied classical piano when I could've been playing guitar I used to drive an El Camino and I'm not even sure it's a car (chorus) I'm not cool but that's okay My God loves me anyway I'm not cool but that's alright I'm still precious in His sight I'm not cool but I don't care How I'm supposed to do my hair I'm not cool but that's okay My God loves me anyway It doesn't matter if I know all the lingo He dosen't mind if I'm not hanging with a certain crowd Some people still believe in building image But I am fine and that's a worry I can do without I used to wish I was athletic but football was never my game I met some friends in mathematics but no one can spell my last name chorus He says that I am one of a kind And I don't have to try to be somebody else He believes in me and says I'm free to be myself I can be myself chorus
