From the recording Afternoon in the Park (Cast Recording)
Lyrics
What’s wrong with me?
What can it be?
Those things they do and say
To make me feel this way
It's hard to take
It makes my heart break
Being different shouldn’t matter
When they’re mean you're so much sadder
Gotta keep your chin up high
Never, ever, let them see you cry.
Maybe you're tall (Maybe I’m tall)
Maybe they’re small (Maybe they're small)
Why can’t they be a little nicer to you?
I’d like a pal (I'd like a pal)
That sure would be swell
Being different shouldn’t matter
When they’re mean you're so much sadder
Gotta keep your chin up high
Never, ever, let them see you cry.
Talk on the phone (Talk on the phone)
Share ice cream cones (Share ice cream cones)
Let me show you what a good friend can do
Know me and then
Learn who I am, a friend.
Being different shouldn’t matter
When they’re mean you're so much sadder
Gotta keep your chin up high
Never, ever, let them see you cry.
They’re never, ever, gonna see me cry!
