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 going to 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

Why do you laugh at me

Why do you laugh at me

Yeah!
