     I’m perfectly normal 
     And yet I’m apart 
     Everything’s fine 
     But where do I start 

     Nothing’s abnormal 
     No birth defects 
     No major problems 
     So what can’t I detect 

     What is about me 
     That make people scowl 
     Turn their backs away 
     As if I’m a wolf on the prowl 

     Something inside 
     That I can’t see 
     Maybe my upbringing 
     Maybe it’s me 

     I don’t think it’s my looks 
     Or even my voice 
     Yet to see me turn away 
     Causes many to rejoice 

     I don’t understand 
     It doesn’t make sense 
     And how long can I keep 
     This awful pretense 

     And in the end 
     I can’t comprehend 
     What is about me 
     That drives away friends 

     I don’t know what it is 
     Maybe I never will 
     But in the end, no difference 
     People turn their backs, still
