[Verse 1:] Were you laughed at by your friends And were you lost for words when everybody finally told you what they thought You can't keep up with the trend It makes you lose but somehow everybody always makes up in the end Oh, was it something that I ate Oh, didn't even touch my plate Oh, suddenly I'm feeling great Do you like me now [Chorus:] Leaving home, life was never good to me Leaving home, I smell the morning air Leaving home, life was never good You can work it out we're leaving home
[Verse 2:] I could hear them through the door As people came in laughing at the way they acted when they were alone And an argument can start with nothing more than this To be the light and leave you standing on your own Oh, am I doing it again Oh, I'm a loser now and then Oh, and I smile at everything Do you like me now [Chorus] [Verse 3:] Hope I like the life I find when I leave everything behind I hope I'm sure I've made my mind to go and leave home [Chorus]
