lyrics

my mother knew
that there was something
different about her sissy boy

every night I prayed
that I would wake up the next day
and be a woman

I dreamed I was a goddess
of the silver screen
and I designed the dresses I’d wear
later when my boobs came in

but you walk like a girl
is what they’d tell me
you walk like a girl
boy wake up and smell the coffee
you walk like a girl
raised by girls like a little pet monkey
you walk like a girl

I planned my exit
I’d walk out the door
I’d walk out in my high-heeled shoes

I’d start a new life
where no one could find me
and I’d wear whatever dress I choose

but you walk like a girl
is what they’d tell me
you walk like a girl
boy wake up and smell the coffee
you walk like a girl
raised by girls like a little pet monkey
you walk like a girl

years have passed
and now I’m in the city
where I learned to be a star

my parents and my sisters
must admit they find it all
a bit bizarre

my hair is long and blond
as I walk down the street
I never did decide
what kind of person I should be

but now they say

you walk like a girl
no I mean it really
you walk like a girl
and girl you look so pretty
you walk like a girl
you know it makes me feel giddy
you walk like a girl
