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've got a lot of space
And if you don't like my face
It ain't me who is 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 gotta be some time
It's gotta 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?
Why do you laugh at me?
Why do you laugh at me?
Yeah!
