You Laugh at Me Lyrics

You Laugh At Me

We were always waiting for the big time
And we were always hoping
That our ship would roll on in
But I never looked much further
Than the red line no no
And I never knew just where we stood
But I could see where we had been
We never really figured out our problems

But we were always bigger baby
We floored them and we wowed them
But you never were an ordinary girl no no
I'd love to bring you flowers
All the flowers in the world

But you laugh - laugh at me
I'll never be what you want me to be
Laugh - laugh at me
You know it's easy to see
I wear it on my sleeve
And you're laughin' at me

And we madeit from Chicago out to Pheonix
You droveI rode we were the cleanest
And you never were an ordinary girl
I used to sing you love songs
All the love songs in the world

Go ahead and laugh - laugh at me
I'll never be what you want me to be
Laugh - laugh at me
You know it's easy to see
I wear it on my sleeve
And you're laughin' at me

Go ahead and laugh
Go ahead and laugh
Laugh at me
