6) Don't Laugh At Me

Original Title: No Goodbyes

Netherlands 2000

Did you watch the ESC in may 2000 ?
I was convinced : I was going to win !
I went out shopping, got myself a brandnew tent
I wrapped it around me and knew : a star is born !
When the music started, the lights went wrong
And -though very painful- I kept singing along
You’ve seen those wrinkles in my worn-out dress ?
They were NOT a success ! ! !

Chorus :

Don’t laugh at me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee !
Don’t laugh at me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee !

In spite of the predictions I just failed to score
I still regret what was happening to me
Was it just my icy voice or was it just the draw
Or do I have to blame the SVT ?
All my tactics were they wrong ?
Did I play an act or sing a song ?
In spite of my « spectacular » show
The public said NÓÓÓÓÓ ! ! ! ! !

Don’t laugh at me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee !
Don’t laugh at me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee !

I won’t say anything I wish I’d never said
So I’ll say nothing at all
I won’t cry but please console me on your wings of love now

Don’t laugh at me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee !

I won’t say anything I wish I’d never said, oh baby
So I’ll say nothing at all !

Don’t laugh at me
Please don’t laugh at me ! ! !
