Do You Know Me?

Do you know me?
The smallest boy in the block,
Too proud to hide,
Too scared to fight,
I'm the looser with steel inside.

Do you know me?
The stranger on the street,
You held me in your eye,
When you passed me by,
Anything else would be too indiscreet.

Do you know me?
The funny man you laughed at,
But it did'nt get me down,
To hear you laugh like that,
I'd rather be a clown.

Do you know me?
The rebel without a cause,
So they put me in a school,
Meant for loosers and fools,
But I laughed and broke the rules.

Do you know me?
The hero in his racing car,
You thought I'd become a movie star,
But I took to wine and drink
And flushed my dreams down the sink.

Do you know me?
The man you cannot place,
Am I good or bad,
Gay or straight,
I always wear a different face.

Do you know me?
I write this song for you,
Because I understand your pain,
I loved once and my heart was true,
And I'll never love the same way again.
