Lyrics

I'm a single man, going on thirty-three
Folks are probably wondering if there's something wrong with me
Shouldn't you be married my now? Find a nice girl and settle down
But, God knows, that kind of life ain't in the cards for me
I'm not like most other men
I guess I've always been different

I was a mama's boy, kind of a sensitive kid
They'd say, "Fight back like a man," but I never did
When other boys would bully me, I'd turn the other cheek
Always gentle, mild, and meek.
Some things you just can't change
I'll always be this way - different.

So do I make you nervous, just a little bit?
Would you want me as your neighbor, would you trust me with your kids?
Are you afraid of me 'cause I'm not like you?
Well, is there any one of us who isn't different?

Some like to criticize the way I live my life
See, I like my wine and I spend my time running with a bunch of guys
And I ain't ashamed to admit some of my best friends
Live their lives - and sometimes die - out on the edge
You might call them whores and freaks
But they're just like me - different.

So do I make you nervous, just a little bit?
Could you love me as your neighbor, could you trust me with your kids?
Are you afraid of me 'cause I'm not like you?
Well, is there any one of us who isn't different?

My name is Jesus, and I live in Galilee,
And there's an angry crowd outside right now coming after me.
You've never seen such fear; you've never seen such hate
And if I'm right, before tonight I will be betrayed
With a kiss from another man
That's how they'll know I am - different
I am different
Don't you know I'm different
Different
