Don't Laugh At Me

I'm a little boy with glasses

the one they call the geek

A little 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 that kid on every playground

who's always chosen last

A single teenage mother

tryin' to overcome my past

You don't have to be my friend

but is it too much to ask?

Chorus:

Don't laugh at me, don't call me names

don't get your pleasure from my pain

In God's eyes we're all the same

Someday we'll all have perfect wings

Don't laugh at me

I'm the cripple on the corner

you've passed me on the street

And I wouldn't be out here beggin'

if I had enough to eat

And don't think that I don't notice

that our eyes never meet

I lost my wife and little boy

when someone crossed that yellow line

The day we laid 'em in the ground

is the day I lost my mind

And right now I'm down to holdin'

this little cardboard sign...so

repeat chorus

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall

I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all?

repeat chorus
