(originally by Peter, Paul and Mary)
Iâm a little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek
A young girl who never smiles âcause Iâve got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep
Iâm a kid on every playground whoâs always chosen last
A single teenage mother trying to overcome her past
You donât have to be my friend
But is that too much to ask
Donât laugh at me
Donât call me names
Donât get your pleasure from my pain
Deep inside weâre all the same
We all need hope and care and love
Donât 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 Iâm down to holding
This little cardboard sign
Iâm the beggar on the corner youâve passed me on the street
And I wouldnât be out here begging if I had enough to eat
And donât think I donât notice
That our eyes never meet
Donât laugh at me
Donât call me names
Donât get your pleasure from my pain
Deep inside weâre all the same
We all need hope and care and love
Donât laugh at me
Iâm rich Iâm poor, Iâm big Iâm small
Iâm deaf Iâm blind, does it really matter after all?
Iâm rich Iâm poor, Iâm big Iâm small
Iâm deaf Iâm blind, does it really matter after all?
Iâm rich Iâm poor, Iâm big Iâm small
Iâm deaf Iâm blind
Does it really matter after all? (Donât laugh at me)
Donât call me names (Iâm rich Iâm poor)
Donât get your pleasure from my pain (Iâm big Iâm small, Iâm deaf Iâm blind)
Deep inside (Does it really matter after all?)
Weâre all the same (Iâm rich Iâm poor)
We all need hope and care and love (Iâm big Iâm small, Iâm deaf Iâm blind)
Donât laugh at me
