Don't Laugh at Me Lyrics

I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call a geek
Young girl who never smiles
Because I got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep

I'm that kid on every playground
That'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
Now I'm down to holding
This little cardboard sign
I'm the beggar on the corner
You pass me on the street
And I wouldn't be on here begging
If I had enough to eat
And don't think I don't notice
That our eyes never meet

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
Doesn't really matter after all

I'm rich, i'm poor
I'm big, i'm small
I'm deaf, i'm blind
Doesn't really matter after all

I'm rich, i'm poor
I'm big, i'm small
I'm deaf, i'm blind
Doesn't matter after all

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
