"Don't Laugh at Me" Lyrics

I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call a "geek"
A little girl who never smiles cuz I 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

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
Some day we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm the beggar on the corner
You’ve passed me on the street
I wouldn't be out 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
In God's eyes we're all the same
Some day we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm Fat. I'm Thin. I’m Short. I'm Tall. I'm Deaf. I'm Blind.
Hey aren't we all?
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
Some day we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

Don’t laugh at me
