The man I love loves only men
And that’s the one thing I can’t be
Though I may change to suit his yen
The man I love cannot love me

Though I for him wear many faces
Wander for him in foreign places
There is one land still closed to me
The realm of masculinity

The man I love loves only men
And that’s the one thing I can’t be
Though I may change to suit his yen
The man I love cannot love me

If you do not like my hair I will wear it shorter
And if my face is not to your taste I’ll have a surgeon pull it tauter
But yet I must restrain his knife
Before it hits my nether quarter

(instrumental)

Oh beautiful boy, can you not see
It’s you that fills my days with light
But how I struggle inwardly
To know you will leave me in the night

But one consolation helps the torment abate
I doubt I would love you this much if you were straight.
