[Verse 1: Gabi DeMartino & Marie Monti]
When I was smaller and people were taller (Mmm)
I realized that I was different (Different)
I had a power that set me apart (Apart)
I learned to take it, to use it, to make it (Mmm)
It's not so bad to be different (Different)
To do your own thing and do it with heart (Do it with heart, oh yeah)

[Chorus: Gabi DeMartino & Marie Monti]
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache, different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2: Gabi DeMartino & Marie Monti]
At first I'd wonder what hex I was under (Oh yeah)
What did I do to be so different (Be so different)
Then I discovered some others like me (Mmm)
Wonder no longer, together we're stronger
It's not so bad to be different
Be true to yourself, that's what you must be (What you must be, oh yeah)

[Chorus: Gabi DeMartino & Marie Monti]
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache, different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge: Gabi DeMartino]
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache, different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same

[Chorus: Gabi DeMartino]
Different is hard, different is lonely
Different is trouble for you only
Different is heartache, different is pain
But I'd rather be different than be the same
