Danielle, wish you were born a boy
Wish you were born a boy!
So I could be your girldfriend
I know, it's not possible now
I just never met a boy I liked half as much as you

And we could lay around the bed
Stay there all day!
Or at least until the afternoon
And I could make you spaghetti with a tomato sauce
And just a touch of oregano and parsley stem

And then when you got sick
I could take the day off work
And we could watch soap operas
Oh, those TV dramas!
I could catch your cold and you could take care of me

If I could've met you at school, or met you at work
It would have changed everything
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity
They would have been shared!
They would have been easier!

Sarah!
Wish you were born a boy
Wish you were born a boy!
So I could've been your Beyoncé!
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me!
But it's just not the same 'cause you're a girl
And so am I
