(Gretchen Phillips)
When I was a young girl like normal girls do
I looked to a woman's love to help get me through
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
I hated the thought of kissing a man it really was too much
I did not drink, I did not smoke I did not say "goddamn"
I was polite I was sensitive before I loved a man
My family, they were proud of me were proud of what I am
But then along came Lester and my tell of woe began
(Chorus)
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
It was June 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part
She said she loved another dyke my god, it broke my heart
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
Lester came to work at Papa's store and decided to ease on in
Before my last heartbreak nothing made me more sick
Than a hairy-chested, cheap double-breasted suited man with a hard dick
I guess that I was courios I guess that I was young
I guess it was that rum and coke I guess that I was dumb
(Chorus)
For of course, for a woman to love a man she must also love to booze
If a woman don't drink beside her man then she will surely lose him
As I sit in this hetero honky-tonk and reflect upon my past
I think about those girlfriends and why they didn't last
For there's certain thrills that lesbian love simply cannot supply
Like paying for abortions from sperm gone awry
And so I say to you my friends without this man I'd die
So listen to my tell of woe and hang your head and cry
(Chorus)Se o mundo for desabar
sobre a sua cama
E o medo se aconchegar
sob o seu lençol
E se você sem dormir
tremer ao nascer do sol
Escute a voz de quem ama
ela chega aÃÂÂ
Você pode estar
tristÃÂÂssimo no seu quarto
Que eu sempre terei
meu jeito de consolar
É só ter alma de ouvir,
e coração de escutar
E nunca me farto
do unÃÂÂssono com a vida
Eu sou, sou sua sabiá
Não importa
onde for vou te catar
Te vou cantar te vou
te vou te vou te vou
Eu sou, sou sua sabiá
O que eu tenho eu te dou
E tenho a dar
Só tenho a voz cantar,
cantar, cantar, cantar
