LAGWAGON LYRICS

"Don't Laugh At Me"

Originally by Peter, Paul and Mary

I’m a little boy with glasses, 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 passed 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 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, 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
