Greggers attempts to re-write "If i were a boy" :) - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Hey guys

Thanks in advance for reading this.

First off, i know this has been done to death, but i wanted to take a crack at it anyways. Im re-writing "If i were a boy" to "If i was just straight". I plan to attempt to sing it for you after its done too, hah. Either that or make someone with a beautiful voice sing it for me...

This is Draft #1

Tell me what you think! Some of it is sketchy when sung, and you may have to stretch a beat or two...but all will be fixed in time hah!

If i was just straight

If I was just straight
Even just for a day
I'd walk down the street in the evening
And check out who I wanted to date

Watch sports with the guys
And know what it was
I'd hook up with anyone I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
Cause it wouldn’t look weird

If I was just straight
I think I could pro-create
How it feels to have a child
I swear I'd love and cherish it
I'd stand up for love
Cause I know it is blind
When you find the one you wanted
Cause she may not be a woman
And everything you want is twisted

If I was just straight
I would hoot at the girls
Tell everyone there sexy
So they'd think that I was manly enough

I'd live in the now
And not think of what I say
Cause I know that its no secret,
Expecting me to only love girls, love girls.

If I was just straight
I think I could pro-create
How it feels to have a child
I swear I'd love and cherish it
I'd stand up for love
Cause I know it is blind
When you find the one you wanted
Cause she may not be a woman
And everything you want is twisted

It's a little too late for me to be straight
Say it’s just a small phase,
Think I'd escape it like that
If you thought I’d love by your rules
You thought wrong

But you're only straight
You don't understand
And you don't understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a man
One day you’ll have a son who turns out gay
You don’t give us our rights
You don't care that its love
Until you have a friend come out to you Cause you think we don’t exist
And everything you knows from TV

But you're only straight
