Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freak show (I don't care)
But, hey, give it just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up and figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up and figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up and figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
Go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up and figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me
The song "Loser Like Me" by Glee cast members Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, and Naya Rivera is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt like an outcast or underdog. The lyrics are empowering and uplifting as they speak about not letting the judgments of others get in the way of achieving one's dreams. The opening lines suggest that people may underestimate someone, but everyone has to start somewhere. The phrase "Freak show" being used is a playful twist on the usual derogatory tones misfits receive. However, with time and effort, one can change opinions and achieve greatness. The chorus repeats with increasing energy, encouraging listeners to embrace their inner losers because being unique is not something to be ashamed of. The bridge emphasizes the rallying cry and the determination of the underdog to rebel against societal standards and prove their worth.
