well the kids all laugh   point their fingers and call her names   ''cause she don't look like them   and her family's kinda strange      but when she looks at me that way   it makes me smile and want to say   i'd be glad for you to stay   when i think about her      she eats alone and walks home   without a friend in sight   and everybody else is hangin'   while she's home very friday night      it makes me sad to see her face   filled with doubt and and oughta place   it makes my mind drift into space   when i think about her      never had someone to truly care   pop never could find the time to spare   she grew up tough and that's alright   i want her to see that they're not like me   well i wanna hang with her tonight      well i walked up to her   and asked if she'd like to dance   but she turned, ran away   and didn't give me a second glance
