Tim I Wish You Were Born a Girl Lyrics
[Verse]
Tim, wish you were born a girl, wish you were born a girl
So I could've been your boyfriend
I know it's not possible now, I just never met a girl
I like half as much as you
And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day
Or at least until the afternoon
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem
And then when you got sick I could take the day off work
I could've made you chicken soup
And we could watch soap operas, oh, those TV dramas
I could catch your cold and you could take care of me
Mmm, If I could've met you at school or met you at work
It would have changed everything
Those years of losing, confusion, and insecurity
They would have been shared, they would have been easier
Oh, Tim, wish you were born a girl, wish you were born a girl
So I could've been your fiancé
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me
But it's just not the same 'cause you're a man and so am I
