Underdog Lyrics

i like things that are so good
you are so-so...good
i like you

but i am the underdog
i am the last in line
don't be the enemy
don't stand in back of me

fearing, boring, wondering where i'll be on my birthday.
you wished me in a dream last night
how could i?
i wouldn't know

because i am the underdog.
i am the last in line
don't be the enemy
don't stand in back of me.
will you be my friend?
now i understand that i more than like you

but i am the underdog
i am the last in line.
don't be the enemy
don't stand in back of me

lalala da-dah

i am the underdog
i am the last in line.
don't be the enemy
don't stand in back of me
i am the underdog
i am the last in line
don't be the enemy
don't be the enemy

hmmmmmm

i like things that are so good
you are so-so...good

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Its about slowly realising that you fancy someone that you dont think you have a chance with, hence being the underdog.
