lyrics

Some folks think they are better than me,
Think I'm good for nothin' and nothin's goin' for free;
I got trouble on my side,
I got a jinx that I can't hide;
A dark cloud hangs over me,
I'm the stranger at the party.

My motives are always misconstrued,
By parasitic critics who feed on misfortune,
But nothin' but nice is never enough,
To those who think they're tough;
A case of mistaken identity,
I'm the stranger at the party.

I'm always on the outside lookin' in,
No matter who or where I been;
Some would like to show me the door,
Some would like to show me the floor...

I got a reputation I can't live down,
A dead man walking in this dead town;
But in time the cream will rise,
Despite those with suspicious minds;
My story precedes me,
I'm the Stranger at the party.

I'm always on the outside lookin' in,
No matter who or where I been;
Some would like to show me the door,
Some would like to show me the floor...

Some folks think they are better than me,
Think I'm good for nothin' and nothin's goin' for free;
I got trouble on my side,
I got a jinx that I can't hide;
A dark cloud hangs over me,
I'm the stranger at the party.
