[Verse 1: Gladys Knight]
To be invisible will be my claim to fame
A girl with no name
That way I won't have to feel the pain
Indispensable
Just a plain old human being
Today don't mean a thing
In a world that's so mean

[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
A world that seems not for me
So privately
I'll be invisible
That way I won't have to explain a thing
If you know what I mean
I won't even have to be here on the scene
It's so ridiculous
For the strife and the bliss
To go right on through
Right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt you so
No one would ever know
They'd never know
Life so preciously
Just don't seem to be
As free as they claim freedom to be (Freedom)
Things are going fast
To have found it all in the past
To have to take what you can get
Sure can make a heart upset
[Verse 2: Gladys Knight]
Inconspicuous
I must behave myself
For somebody else
That may have a little fame, fortune and wealth
It's so ridiculous
For the strife and the bliss
To go right on through
Right on through me to have missed

[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
All the world seems not for me
So privately
I'll be invisible
That way I won't have to explain a thing
If you know what I mean
I won't even have to be here on the scene
It's so ridiculous
For the strife and the bliss
To go right on through
Right on through me to have missed
All the things that hurt you so
No one would ever know
No, no, no they'd never know
(Life so preciously) Life so preciously
(Just don't seem to me) Just don't seem to me
As free as they claim freedom to be
(Freedom, freedom) Oh
(Things are going fast) Things are going fast
To have found it all in the past
To have to take what you can get
Sure can make a heart upset
[Outro: Gladys Knight]
So I'll be invisible
Invisible, invisible, invisible, invisible
Invisible
