Laugh At Me

(I never though I'd cut a record by myself)

(But I got somethin' I wanna say)

(I wanna say it for Cher)

(And I hope I say it for a lot of people)

Why can't I be like any guy?

Why do they try to make me run?

Son of a gun, now

What do they care

About the clothes I wear?

Why get their kicks from makin' fun?  yeah

This world's got a lotta space

And if they don't like my face

It ain't me that's goin', that's goin' any place, no

So I don't care

Let 'em laugh at me

If that's the fare

I have to pay to be free

Then, baby, laugh at me

And I'll cry for you

And I'll pray for you

And I'll do all the things

That the man upstairs says to do

I'll do 'em for you

I'll do 'em

I'll do 'em all for you

It's gotta start someplace

It's gotta start sometime

I'll make that other cheek mine

And maybe the next guy

That don't wear a silk tie

He can walk by and say hi

Say hi

Instead of why

Instead of why

Instead of why, babe

Instead of why

What did I do to you?

Why, I don't know why
