DONT LAUGH AT ME LYRICS 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 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 pass me on the street 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 Someone crossed that yellow line The day we laid 'em in
the ground Is the day I lost my mind Right now I'm down to holdin'
This little cardboard sign. [Chorus:] I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short,
I'm tall I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey aren't we all? [Chorus:]
