Tim, I Wish You Were Born a Girl Songtext
von of Montreal

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, mmm

If I could've met you at school
Or met you at work
It would've changed everything
Those years
Of losing, confusion and insecurity
They would′ve been shared
They would′ve been easier

Oh, Tim, wish you were born a girl
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
'Cause you′re a man
And so am I
