I’m Gay

Dear Mom and Pop, how do I tell you?
I never thought I'd ever find the nerve
Dear Mom and Pop, don’t wanna hurt you
Pain is something you don't deserve

How many times did I lie?
How many nights did I cry?
There's no other way
I’ll just have to come right out and say
I'm gay

Dear Mom and Pop, I'm really happy
And not ashamed at all of what I am
Those who don't know or think it's funny
Don't pay much attention to them

I'm hoping that you'll come to see
This is how God meant me to be
This is my way
And I’m proud to come right out and say
I’m gay

Dear Mom and Pop, you know I love you
That's why you had to hear it from me
If I didn’t think so much of you
I guess I could have just let it be

You'd have heard it from somebody somewhere
And that wouldn't be very fair
Maybe one day
It won't be such a hard thing to say
I’m gay
I'm gay
I'm gay
I'm gay
I'm gay
I'm gay
I'm gay
I'm gay
