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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Tim, wish you were born a girl, wish you were born a girl.
|
So I could've been your fiance.
|
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me,
|
But it's just not the same because you're a man,
|
and so am I.
