[Verse 1] I never really fit in Never tried too hard Everybody had a straight line I was playing alone in the yard Mama said, “You’re different” Dad just shook his head I guess I took the long way Everywhere I went [Pre-Chorus] And I know I’m a little off Hell, I kinda like it Never been the type to Keep my mouth quiet [Chorus] I’m the black sheep Yeah, I wear it pretty good Little left of center Like a black sheep should At home, at work Hell, everywhere I go I’m doing things my own way That’s the only way I know And they laugh when I get weird They love me when I’m me Guess being the black sheep Ain’t so bad to be [Verse 2] I’ve always been the loud one The one who talks too much Say the thing I’m thinking Before I think it through enough I walk in like a thunderstorm Shake the whole room up I guess they’ve just accepted That’s the way I am [Pre-Chorus] I could tone it down I could play it safe But where’s the fun in living If you gotta act that way? [Chorus] I’m the black sheep Yeah, I wear it pretty good Little left of center Like a black sheep should At home, at work Hell, everywhere I go I’m doing things my own way That’s the only way I know And they laugh when I get weird They love me when I’m me Guess being the black sheep Ain’t so bad to be [Bridge – pick up the groove, more upbeat and playful, with a little attitude and humor; let the vocal get loose and conversational] Maybe I’m not everybody’s cup of tea But I got good people sitting next to me They know the crazy They know the flaws And they still show up Just because [Final Chorus] I’m the black sheep Yeah, I guess that’s what I am Never gonna fit that mold Never gonna give a damn At home, at work Hell, everywhere I go I got people who love me And they already know I’m gonna be a little weird I’m gonna be myself If that makes me the black sheep I’ll take it over being somebody else [Outro] Yeah, I’m the black sheep And I kinda like it that way.
