I'm in Southern California and the beautiful ones just kicked me out of their resturaunt I gotta tell myself I didn't really want to eat there anyway That's just the way it goes sometimes Friday night at the movie show I got 5 friends and we wanna go There's only 4 seats in the 2nd row guess I'm sitting by myself That's just the way it goes sometimes {chorus}: I am the 5th wheel I am the 53rd card in the deck I got a "kick me" sign hang'n round my neck O Lord I'm on the outside looking in Went alone to the high-school dance saw a pretty girl, thought I had a chance But her boyfriend's a gorilla with a bat named Lance and I'm running for my life. That's just the way it goes sometimes Somebody told me You came for the lonely Here I am Lord, take me I got a bumper sticker says "I'm born to lose" I got foot prints on my blue suede shoes Even in church I'm singing the blues because I need You that bad O Lord
