lyrics

i am stepping strongly
i can’t let my feelings show
i can get what i want
if i stay solid as stone
is there an exception
what if i wanna cry
don’t be like a queer
don’t be asking why

boys are fake
girls are real
neither are all there is
but both can feel
stuck in the middle

i get somewhat frustrated
they say i should smile more
they call you a big man
but if i try i’m a whore
you know i’m a tiger
my keys are my claws
i can be where you are
so long as i don’t show flaws

boys are fake
girls are real
neither are all there is
but both can feel
stuck in the middle

it’s a light and sunny day
i put my shades on to shield the light
i eat when i’m very hungry
and i sleep at night
an object of great importance
to some but not for me
ask me a million questions
i'm just a person, leave me be

boys are fake
girls are real
neither are all there is
but both can feel
stuck in the middle

sometimes i move my legs
sometimes i move my hips
either neither are you there
let me give you a couple tips
i’ve got a couple feelings
may i share them with you
used to think i didn’t know who i was
now i know i’m this and that too

boys are fake
girls are real
neither are all there is
but both can feel
stuck in the middle
