about

The song formerly known as "Let Me Know the Truth"

lyrics

I've got a girlfriend, she's pretty great
I wanna tell her that I love her just to set the record straight
Well, not exactly
You see she's not that kind of girlfriend if you know what I mean
And I'm not the kind of girl who likes to create a scene
But I gotta come clean
I'm in love with my best friend!

Well holey, mouldy, old Swiss cheese
My love for you's a heart disease
And it's not getting better with age
Canary trapped in a coal miner's cage

You're like a stubborn sty, always in my mind's eye
And trying to rub it out just makes it sore
Everyone's a little queer
Oh, can't you be a little more?

I hate to tell you, but this love's no fiction
Though I know sometimes it seems truth is a stranger to my diction
And I hope you don't mind that lately I have been thinking about you in a physical way
I think of pretty things
Like the kink in your elbow, the size of your pupils

I can call you Becky, and Becky when you call me
You can call me Enid, Clarissa, or Sally

When it comes to love they always say
"Don't let anyone stand in your way"
But what am I supposed to do
When I'm standing here in Noah-man's land with you?

If I'm a lesbian, you'd still be my best friend
But that's all and it's you I adore
Everyone's a little queer
Oh, can't you be a little more?
