Lagwagon - Don't Laugh At Me lyrics

I’m a little boy with gla**es, 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 pa**ed 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
