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 (Fade)
