Here  we are,  dear  old friend.
You  and  I, drunk  again.
Laughs  have been had  and tears  have been  shed.
Maybe  the whiskey's gone  to my head.
 But if  I were gay,  I would give  you my heart.
 And if  I were gay,  you'd be my  work of art.
 And if  I were gay,  we would swim  in romance.
But  I'm not gay, so get  your hand out  of my pants.
---  2x
 It's not  that  I don't care,  I do.
 I just  don't see  myself  in you.
 Another time,  another  scene.
 I'd be  right behind  you, if you  know what I mean.
 Cause if  I were gay,  I would give  you my soul.
 And if  I were gay,  I would give  you my whole  being.
 And if  I were gay,  we would tear  down the walls.
But  I'm not gay, so won't  you stop cupping  my hand.
---  4x
 We've never hugged;  we've never kissed.
 I've never  been intimate with  your fist.
 But you  have  opened brand  new doors.
 Get over here  and drop  your  drawers.

A[D]nother [D/C#]time, a[D]no[Bm]ther s[D]cene.
I'd [Bm]be right beh[Bm/A]ind you, if you[G] know what I mea[A]n.

Cause i[D]f I were g[A]ay, I would g[Bm]ive you my s[G]oul.
