Why?
Why
Does this happen to me
At my locker and in the class everyday.
They call me "Fat" and "Four Eyes"
Why all the name-calling?
Chorus:
Why oh why,
Does this happen to me day-by-day,
Not just me, but my friends just the same,
Why, it"s not fair, ahhhhhhh
Why does this happen to anyone?
In the lunchroom at 12 o'clock,
The kids try to hand me a salad and fork,
I hear the snickers and feel the stares,
As I sit by the dumpster
Chorus
They tease my friends,
and I try to stick up for them
But the bullies don't take me that seriously
And I end up crying all day
Chorus
Refrain:
But one of these days I'm gonna grow on up,
And they're gonna wish they'd been nice to me
Oh I can't wait for the day when they treat me with equality.
Chorus
Fade
Why does this happen to anyone?
Why does this happen to me?
