I wanna be a boy, Or, at least that’s what I think this feeling is, Take red pen to my paper, Correct mistakes God somehow did.
I wanna befriend bugs, Climb tall trees, scrap my knees, And show I am tough, Only cry in the night time, My bed is the thing I can trust.
Cause I’ve grown sick of staring, Hours in the mirror, Moulding cheekbones, Hope a new face could appear, I’ll break and bend my spine, If it’d make you say “you’re mine”, It’s so unfair! I guess I wanna be a boy.
I wanna be a boy, Take up space when I sit, I don’t need manners, they’re shit, Rip my nails, cut my hair, 'Cause maybe then you’d finally care.
Why can’t I just be a boy, Be the thing that gives you, Butterflies, Whisper that I make you smile, Could we pretend that’s me for a while?
Cause I’ve grown sick of staring, Hours in the mirror, Moulding cheekbones, Hope a new face could appear, I’ll break and bend my spine, If it’d make you say “you’re mine, You’re mine, You’re mine”,
I wanna be a boy, Or at least be in a body, You could love, I’d break and bend my spine, If it’d make you say “You’re mine”, Could it make you say “You’re mine?”, It’s so unfair, I guess I wanna be a boy.
