JUST BECAUSE

 

Just because I'm weird

Don't think I'm dumb.

Don't treat me as a freak,

A better friend would be hard to meet.

 

Just because I'm weird

Doesn't mean I can't be cool.

Doesn't mean I can't rule at school

Doesn't mean I don't try.

 

Just because I'm weird

Still I'm a fun guy.

Makes me one of a kind.

Just because I'm weird --- don't treat me unkind.
