The day
that we got married
was the day I up and died
My family was all for ya
but my heart just up and cried
You wanted a new mommy
to mend, 'n sow, 'n clean
but I was hidin' thoughts
of bein' a lesbi een
I tried so hard our wedding night
with kissin', pettin, and rubbin'
but as you reached Nirvana
I bemoaned yer missin' plumbin'.
As the
years went by and you got hair
where hair just shouldn't be
I longed to stroke some smooth fine skin
Like in my fantasies
My life became a shambles,
all fraught with misery
'Cos I harboured deep hot secrets
and a yearning to be me.
Yeah, the
day that I got wise
was the day I was born again
My family is all for me
'Cos they know love ain't a sin
When I reached down deep inside
and found a butchie dyke
I knew it weren't yer tall hard looks
That had attracted me that night.
No, I loved the flannel look you wore
the jeans an' hobnail boots
An' the bulge you had inside yer pants
to show you had the goods
I didn't
know just what I'd need
To feel good deep within
But you were like a mirror
And I felt that we were kin
So now I got my Doc Martins
My flannel, and my ties
I got a strut and attitude
And started attractin' girls like flies
Well the
day I met my darlin'
lovers one through seventeen
Was when I knew that I was free
to be the best butch I could be
So I went out to sew my wild oats
And find just who I was
I got me some real fine tattoos
An' I'm wearin' a new buzz
Yeah, the
day that I get married
to a true love I will find
Is when I'll feel connected
back to this heart of mine
'Cos when I climb into the sack
I leave on all the lights
So I can love her tenderly
And take in all the sights
Each inch of skin that I will kiss
Ain't covered with coarse hair
An' I'll shave my baby up just right
An' kiss her where she's bare
See, society
don't get it
They may never understand
That to be fulfilled and happy
Doesn't mean you need a man
It means you just have to try
And be the best that you can be
Whether you are of the same sex
Love creates a family
