[Verse 1]
Heard about you when I was younger
All that fire inside your guts
So I went out and I bought every thing you did
See now I know 'bout all that fuss

[Chorus]
But tell me, how did you get so overlooked?
I'd read about you in the rock and roll books
So, how did you get so overlooked?
Won't you tell me how did you get so overlooked?
Hmm

[Verse 2]
Ain't no sunshine in your story
Ain't no chore who knows your name
See that's offending you, I'm sorry
I didn't see you in the hall of fame

[Chorus]
But tell me, how did you get so overlooked?
I'd read about you in them rock and roll books
So, how did you get so overlooked?
Won't you tell me how did you get so overlooked?
Ooh ooh
[Chorus]
So, how did you get so overlooked?
I'd read about you in that rock and roll books
So, how did you get so overlooked?
Tell me, how did you get so overlooked?
Hmm hmm
