| Don't Laugh at Me
<center>I'm the little girl with glasses, the one they call a geek
A little girl who never smiles, cuz 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 whose always chosen last
A single teenage mother trying 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
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me
I'm the man on every corner, who has to live out on the street
I wouldn't be out here begging 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 when someone crossed that yellow line
The day they laid them in the ground was the day I lost my mind
And right now I'm down to holding this little cardboard sign
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 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
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me</center>
