Why

Don't look at me the way you do 
Dont laugh at me. I dont understand 
Why is iy me who gets the blame? 
Why is it me who takes the pain? 

You say I'm this, You call me that 
Is all this because I'm slightly fat? 
What have I done, tekll me please, 
so I can put it right! 

I dont understand, why you look at me 
like that, like I'm a piece of dirt 
stucl on your shoe 
It aint my fault, I am the way I am. 

Dont look at me the way you do 
Dont laugh at me, I dont understand 
Why is it me who carries the shame? 
Why is it me who takes the pain?
