Being a boy's like sucking on a lemon And I judge myself by the adverts I see My deodorant hides the real me These things elevate me above animals I feel like being a girl Being a girl And my life never tasted sweeter I'm so boring, my clothes want to keep Someone else warm, someone cooler Tax on cigarettes, treats my cancer These things elevate me above animals I feel like being a girl Being a girl And my life never tasted sweeter
