Glee Cast - Loser Like Me

I have officially gotten on the Glee bandwagon. Does that make me a Gleek now? LOL Well, for weeks now I have been asking myself, why am I watching a show about high school kids that sing? First of all, I graduated from high school, umm *cough cough*, a few years ago and I really don't like musicals, like at all.

Then this weekend, I broke down and bought a Glee cd. I believe it is one from the second season(the one with Thriller/Off with your heads and Loser Like Me). I LOVE it. I see myself buying every single one of the cd's now. Yikes!!

Well, I have been listening to it on repeat for a week now and I find that my fav song on the cd is Loser Like Me. I didn't see why at first, but then it hit me - That song is ABOUT me. Bam another revelation.

I was the high school loser. I was the one that wasn't popular and got made fun of. Even though, I lettered in four sports(Basketball, Softball, Track and Cross Country), and graduated Battalion Commander of our JROTC(that's a Colonel), and was 11th in my class and a member of the National Honor Society, I was still the odd ball. Oh, and I was part of the "head banger" crew, as well. I couldn't help it if I like ACDC and Whitesnake. Maybe, because I DID do all those things that were so unrelated it set me apart from everyone else. I'm not sure.

These days I embrace my differences. I love that I can discuss just about anything or at least formulate an intelligent reponse, well most times anyway. So, here is the video for my new fav song and I love the entire scene. Enjoy!!

Glee Cast — Loser Like Me lyrics

(Lea Michele/Rachel)

Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

(Cory Monteith/Finn)

Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me

Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

(Chorus)
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me
