Don't Laugh At Me

I’m a little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek

A young girl who never smiles

‘Cause I’ve got braces on my teeth

And I know how it feels

To cry myself to sleep

I’m a kid on every playground who’s always chosen last

A single teenage mother trying to overcome her past

You don’t have to be my friend

But is that too much to ask

Don’t laugh at me

Don’t call me names

Don’t get your pleasure from my pain

Deep inside we’re all the same

We all need hope and care and love

Don’t laugh at me

I lost my wife and little boy when

Someone crossed that yellow line

The day they laid them in the ground the day I lost my mind

And now I’m down to holding

This little cardboard sign

I’m the beggar on the corner

You’ve passed me on the street

And I wouldn’t be out here begging if I had enough to eat

And don’t think I don’t know this

That I was never neat

Don’t laugh at me

Don’t call me names

Don’t get your pleasure from my pain

Deep inside we’re all the same

We all need hope and care and love

Don’t laugh at me

I’m rich I’m poor, I’m big I’m small

I’m deaf I’m blind, does it really matter after all?

I’m rich I’m poor, I’m big I’m small

I’m deaf I’m blind, does it really matter after all?

I’m rich I’m poor, I’m big I’m small

I’m deaf I’m blind

Does it really matter after all? (don’t laugh at me)

Don’t call me names (I’m rich I’m poor)

Don’t get your pleasure from my pain

(I’m big I’m small, I’m deaf I’m blind)

Deep inside (does it really matter after all?)

We’re all the same (I’m rich I’m poor)

We all need hope and care and love

(I’m big I’m small, I’m deaf I’m blind)

Don’t laugh at me
