“Loser Kid” is an album track from Busted’s self-titled debut album. A throwback to their debut single (and the album’s first track) “What I Go to School For”, it is about being a “loser” in high school but then everything turns out alright because the protagonist ended up with his teacher, Miss McK...
I was always picked last for teams
I wore my sister's jeans
I was a loser kid..
And the teachers didn't care
They just left me sitting there
I don't know what I did..
But since then
How the tide's have turned!
(Chorus)
Cause I used to be the loser kid
Who always ran away and hid
No-one took the time to know me
The Kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
At least I know they won't forget me
Cause I live with Miss McKenzie
And now it's all history
And I've put it all behind me
Look at what I've become
I get recognised in the street
And everyone I meet
Remembers the news I've made
(Bridge)
But since then
How the tide's have turned!
(Chorus)
Cause I used to be the loser kid
Who always ran away and hid
No-one took the time to know me
The Kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
Atleast I know they won't forget me
Cause I live with Miss McKenzie
And then I see
The way you look at me
Takes me back to how it used to be
And still it's clear
The way you locked the classroom door
And whispered in my ear;
"You're what I go to school for."
You are
The one I go to school for!"
(Chorus)
Cause I used to be the loser kid
Who always ran away and hid
No-one took the time to know me
The Kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
Atleast I know they won't forget me
Cause I live with Miss McKenzie
(Chorus)
Cause I used to be the loser kid
Who always ran away and hid
No-one took the time to know me
The Kick me sign was always on me
Now everybody wants to know
What I do and where I go
At least I know they won't forget me
Cause I live with Miss McKenzie
