If I Were a Girl

If I had been born a girl I wonder what would rock my world I really have to stop and think I guess I’d have to start liking pink One thing I know that would be really great I know I’d never make a single mistake I could change my mind all of the time Oh wait a minute … no I wouldn’t Well yeah, I guess I would Or not Maybe Yeah, I would change my mind all the time Naw, that wouldn’t be fair to my guy Ahh – who cares … surely not I I suppose I would have to get used to carrying a purse Of course, there are other things to get used to a whole lot worse I wouldn’t have to shave my face … But I would have to shave almost every other place If I were to be a girl I don’t think I would be one of those liberated kind Treat me like a delicate flower I really would not even mind I guess I couldn’t burp and fart in public That would really cramp my style And I know I couldn’t walk in high heels Not even for one tenth of a mile And one thing I know for sure, I would be the ugliest girl under the sky … No – I think I’ll just scratch and spit And thank God I was born a guy

Oh come on Joe you could rock some 4 1/2 inch red stilletos! I'll send you mine to practice :) And a Brazilian wax would surely build some character-If you boys only knew. Great entry for the contest btw. :)
