I know how it feels to expect to get a fair shake
But they won't let you forget
You're the underdog and you got to be twice as good
Even if you're never right
They get uptight when you got too much
You might start thinking too much, too

I know how it feels when you know for real
That every other time
You get a raw deal

Said I'm the underdog, ya’ll
Do you know what I mean, yeah
Said I'm the underdog, ya’ll

Well, I know how it feels to get demoted
When it comes the time to get promoted
‘Cause you might be movin' up way too fast

If you ever love somebody of a different set,
But the other set was an act you forget
Well it just don't go like that

I know how it feels
When people stop, turn around and stare
They signify, low rate m

Said I'm the underdog, ya’ll
Do you know what I mean, yeah
I'm just the underdog, ya’ll
Un-der-dog, Un-der-dog,
Un-der-dog, Un-der-dog

I know how it feels to be played upon
Be at the party but you're really all alone
They underestimate me

And if you hang out with people you don't even know
Simply because there’s a whole lot more of them
You better think again
You better think again

I know how it feels when you're feelin' down
And you wanna come up but you’re really in the wrong
… part of town

Said I'm the underdog, ya’ll
Do you know what I mean
Said I'm the underdog, ya’ll

Underdog, Underdog, Underdog, ya’ll
Underdog, Underdog, that’s me
Underdog, Underdog, Underdog, ya’ll
Underdog

I'm the underdog, ya’ll
I'm the underdog, ya’ll
I'm the underdog, underdog
I’m the freak, I’m the freak
I'm the underdog, ya’ll
Underdog

I’m the underdog
