I Wanna Be A Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be a boy
Or at least that's what I think this feeling is
Take red pen to my paper
Correct mistakes God somehow did
I wanna befriend bugs
Climb tall trees, scrape my knees
And show I am tough
Only cry in the night time, my bed is the thing I can trust

[Chorus]
'Cause I've grown sick of staring hours in the mirror
Molding cheekbones, hope a new face could appear
I'll break and bend my spine
If it'd make you say, "You're mine," it's so unfair
I guess I wanna be a boy
[Break]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
I wanna be a boy
Take up space when I sit
I don't need manners, they're shit
Rip my nails, cut my hair 'Cause maybe then you'd finally care
Why can't I just be a boy?
Be the thing that gives you butterflies
Whisper that I make you smile
Could we pretend that's me for a while?

[Chorus]
'Cause I've grown sick of staring hours in the mirror
Molding cheekbones, hope a new face could appear
I'll break and bend my spine
If it'd make you say, "You're mine"
"You're mine"
"You're mine"

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I wanna be a boy
Or at least be in a body you could love
I'll break and bend my spine
If it'd make you say, "You're mine"
Could it make you say, "You're mine"? It's so unfair
I guess I wanna be a boy
