[Em] Okay, I'm [B] riding around in this car, this woman that I'm close to a couple times a week.
[G] I'm noticing she's [C] looking out of the window and noticing other women.
Now this one looks, isn't her hair lovely?
What a nice outfit.
I said, babe, what is the deal?
You're noticing all these other chicks.
[Ebm] Maybe.
She looks at me and she says, I wish I was a lesbian.
Now at that point, I wanted to say, you mean you wish you were a lesbian?
Because [Em] grammatically, but I let [D] it slide.
I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.
But you know, [G] that sentence, that retort, I wish I was [Cm] a [Bb] lesbian,
kind [A] of stuck in the old loud rose mind.
[Db]
Kind [Eb] [G] of gestated there for [A]
seven, [Gm] eight minutes.
And this tune [E] popped out.
I [Em] wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come and go.
And all that awful [A] facial hair and yucky eye gizmo.
[E] Oh, I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
[Em] I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight.
[Em] I would sleep with women only.
[B] Man, it would be [E] great.

I would hang with Katie Lang, [G] Mel Gibson, take a hike.
[E] I think it [A] would be nice to love someone who was alike.
Oh, [E] I wish I was a lesbian and I'd like to be a tight guy.
I wish I [A] was a lesbian.
[E] That's why this [A] song is sung.
[E] It shouldn't have to matter [B] how someone is hung.
