[Verse 1]
I've been feel
ing lightheade
d since I lost
enough weight
to fit back i
n my skin.
Flower petals
and feathers t
ether me to th
e ground, poun
d for pound.
Take my tea wi
th formaldehyd
e for my femin
ine side since
the day that
I died.
While I whittl
e my bones unt
il I'm brittle
, am I pretty
now?
For some reaso
n I find mysel
f lost in what
#
you think of
me
And too confus
ed to choose w
ho I should be
And now you got me thinking-
[Chorus]
I wish I could
be a girl and
that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Am I pretty en
ough to lie to
? Oh-oh Oh!
I wish I could
be a girl and
that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Just little ol
d me in a big
big world. Oh
-oh Oh!
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Little old me
in a big world
I-I-I-I-I
I wish I were
a girl
[Verse 2]
I've been feel
ing lightheart
ed since I gai
ned enough wei
ght back to c-
c-c-c-cover my
bones.
I get dressed
up in shadows
one leg at a t
ime - we're so
alike!
But if the sho
e fits then I
won't try it o
n. You'll be w
alking out ear
ly but the sho
w must go on.
No, I know tha
t I'm wrong, b
ut I love how
you're on my s
ide when I cro
ss that line.
It's been a po
int of content
ion between my
self and this
body that they
stuck me in
The privilege
of being born
to be a man
And now you got me thinking-
[Chorus]
I wish I could
be a girl and
that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Am I pretty en
ough to lie to
? Oh-oh Oh!
I wish I could
be a girl and
that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Just little ol
d me in a big
big world. Oh
-oh Oh!
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Little old me
in a big world
I-I-I-I-I
I wish-
[Bridge]
Eating your pr
osthetic meets
your anesthet
ic criteria, p
athetic seeing
you become ac
etic
Say my name li
ke a slur but
I've been call
ed worse and I
heard it all
before, no, th

st
Let me be the
void you fill
with taxidermy
fingerprints
taxonomize our
differences
I am quantum p
hysics, my wit
ness brings me
into existenc
e
[Chorus]
I wish I could
be a girl and
that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Am I pretty en

I wish I could

u would use
I/me/myself
Am I pretty en

Oh, Oh-ohoh oh

Little old me
