[Intro]
People would assume that I'm about to, like, don my fez and smash my cymbals together, um, but no, I actually really enjoy playing this song, and so, um, you know which one it is
Ahhh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ahhh, sha-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
I’ve been feeling lightheaded since I lost enough weight to fit back in my skin
Flower petals and feathers tether me to the ground, pound for pound
Take my tea with formaldehyde for my feminine side since the day that I died
While I whittle my bones until I’m brittle, am I pretty now?
For some reason I find myself lost in what you think of mе
And too confused to choose who I should be
And now you’vе got me thinking
[Chorus]
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Am I pretty enough to lie to? Oh-ah-oh
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Just little old me in a big, big world, oh-ah-oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, little old me in a big world
Ah ah ah ah ah, I wish I were a girl
[Verse 2]
I’ve been feeling lighthearted since I gained enough weight back to cover my bones
I get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time, we’re so alike
'Cause if the shoe fits, then I won’t try it on
You’ll be walking out early, but the show must go on
No, I know that I’m wrong
But I love how you’re on my side
It’s been a point of contention between myself and this body that they stuck me in
The privilege of being born to be a man
And now you got me thinking
[Chorus]
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Am I pretty enough to lie to? Oh-ah-oh
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Just little old me in a big, big world, oh-ah-oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, little old me in a big world
Ah ah ah ah ah, I wish
[Bridge]
Now you're eating your prosthetic meet your anesthetic criteria, pathetic seeing you become acetic
Say my name like a slur, I’ve been called worse
And I’ve heard it all before, no, this isn’t a first
Let me be the void you fill with taxidermy fingerprints, taxonomize our differences
I am quantum physics, my witness brings me into existence
[Chorus]
I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
Am I pretty enough to love back?
No, not yet
And I wish I could be a girl, and really, I’d prefer it if you would use I / Me / Myself
Am I pretty enough?
Am I pretty enough to fucking die?
Ay ay ay ay ay ay, little old me in a big world
Oh whoa whoa whoa, oh whoa whoa, well I would give you my whole world
Oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, little old me in a big world
Ah ah ah ah ah, I wish
[Outro]
I wish I could be a girl, and really, I’d prefer it if you would use I / Me / Myself
