Laugh at me Lyrics — Mott the Hoople

(Sonny Bono)

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!
Mott the Hoople
