Lyrics

Don't Tease
Music and Lyrics by
Caroline Figiel and Danny Jones
(2002)


A Band-Aid always helps my skinned elbow or knee

When I get my feelings hurt, it's not so easy

To forget and get better and say I'm ok

Sometimes hurt feelings just won't fade away



(Chorus)

Na na na na na.....Don't tease



I'm the kid they called stupid, loser and dumb

My reading wasn't up to speed like everyone's

You may think those awful names are no big deal

Would you still say those things if you knew how they made me feel?



(Chorus)

(Break)

I'm the kid they made fun of, who never ever got picked

To be a member of a team cause I wasn't all that quick

Put yourself in my shoes and I think you'll agree

Get to know a person better

Then you won't tease



(Chorus)



They say sports aren't my thing, how right they are

But you'd like my collection of baseball cards

Yeah, I might not read books as fast as you

But check out the cool pictures of the story I drew

(Break)

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down

Soar like an eagle or come crashing down

Everyone's different, special, and unique

So choose your words carefully before you speak



(Chorus)
