laugh at me lyrics

Well, how can I be like any guy?
Why do they have to make me run?
What do they care about
The clothes that I wear?
What do they get from making fun?

Well, we got a lot of space
And if you don't like my face
It ain't me, who's going anywhere

'Cause I don't care
Let them laugh at me, if that's so fair
Well, then I don't have to care
To be free until they laugh at me

And I'll cry for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll do everything
That the man upstairs said to do

I'll do it all for you, babe
Yes, well, I'll do it all for you
It's got to be sometime
It's got to be somewhere
I'm gonna make that achievement

Then maybe the next time
That you don't wear a silk tie
And I can walk by and say hi
Say hi instead of why

Instead of why, babe
Instead of why
Instead of why, babe

Yeah, instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe

Why do you laugh at me?
Why do you laugh at me?
And you laugh at me
Why do you laugh at me? Yeah
