Tim,  wish you were born a girl,
 Wish you were born a girl,
 So I could've been your boyfriend.
 I know  it's not possible  now.
 I just never  met a girl I like half as much  as you.
 And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day,
 Or at least until the afternoon
 And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
 With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem.
 And then when you got sick,
 I could take the day off work.
 I could've made you chicken soup,
 And we could watch soap operas
 - oh, those TV dramas!
 I could catch your cold
 and you could take care of me.
 mmmmmm,  If I could've met you at school,  or met you at work,
 It would have changed everything.
 Those years  of losing, confusion  and insecurity,
 They would have been shared,
 they would have been easier.
 Tim, wish you were born a girl,
 So I could've been your fiancé.
 I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me,
 But it's just not the same because you're a man,
 and so am I.

[F]Tim, wish you were born a g[Am]irl,

I could've made you chicken soup,
And we could watch soap operas
