DON'T LAUGH AT ME(Steve Seskin/Allen Shamblin)
I'm a little boy with glassesThe one they call a
geekA little girl who never smiles'Cause I have
braces on my teeth
2
And I know how it feels to cry myself to
sleepI'm that kid on every playgroundWho's
always chosen lastA single teenage motherTryin'
to overcome my pastYou don't have to be my
friendBut is it too much to ask
3
Don't laugh at meDon't call me namesDon't get
your pleasure from my painIn God's eyes we're
all the sameSomeday we'll all have perfect
wingsDon't laugh at me
4
I'm the beggar on the cornerYou've passed me on
the streetAnd I wouldn't be out here beggin'If
I had enough to eatAnd don't think I don't
noticeThat our eyes never meet
5
Don't laugh at meDon't call me namesDon't get
your pleasure from my painIn God's eyes we're
all the sameSomeday we'll all have perfect
wingsDon't laugh at me
