Laugh At Me [early version]

[Spoken]
You know, I never thought I'd have to cut a record by myself. But I got something to say. I'm saying it for Cher, and I'm saying it for a lot of people

Why can't I be like any guy?
Why do they try and make me run?
Son of a gun
What do they care about the clothes I wear?
Why get their kicks from making fun?
This world's got a lotta space
And if they don't like my face
It ain't me that's going, that's going anyplace

I don't care, then, laugh at me
If that's the fare, I have to beg 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 those things that the man upstairs says to do
I'll do 'em for you
Babe, 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 time
That guy in the silk tie
He can walk by and say, "Hi"
Say, "Hi," instead of, "Why"
Instead of, "Why," babe
Yeah. instead of, "Why"
Instead of, "Why"
