Lyrics
The boy he thinks I'm damaged goods
The boy perceives me as damaged or flawed.
I know he does and I guess he should
I acknowledge that he holds this view, and perhaps it's justified.
I dress like him, I take him down
I adopt a style similar to his, trying to connect with him.
He gets embarrassed when his friends come around
He feels uncomfortable or ashamed when his friends are present.
I want to take him to the show,
I desire to bring him to a performance or event.
I'm crossing over what you know
I am surpassing conventional norms or expectations.
Is it the boy you need in me,
Questioning if he desires the qualities perceived as masculine in me or the feminine potential within him.
Or the girl that you could be?
Exploring the possibility of embracing a feminine identity.
Come on now social,
Encouraging social participation or interaction.
I want you to be
Asking for a socially adept behavior.
Come on now graceful,
Requesting graceful conduct.
I want you to be
Desiring graceful behavior from the boy.
Come on now special,
Asking for a special or unique demeanor.
I want you to be
Expressing a desire for uniqueness or individuality.
I want you
Expressing a general desire or need.
And so this is the measure of me,
Reflecting on the evaluation of oneself.
Even though it shouldn't be
Acknowledging that the self-evaluation may not be accurate or fair.
The lion lays down with the lamb
Referring to a harmonious coexistence of opposites, possibly expressing a personal struggle with achieving such harmony.
I can't do it, so I ain't worth a damn
Admitting inability to achieve a harmonious balance, feeling inadequate.
Come on now social,
Encouraging social behavior once again.
I want you to be
Requesting socially adept behavior.
Come on now graceful,
Asking for graceful conduct.
I want you to be,
Expressing a desire for graceful behavior from the boy.
Come on now special,
Requesting a special or unique demeanor.
I want you to be
Expressing a desire for uniqueness or individuality.
Come on now social,
Reiterating the call for social interaction.
I want you to be
Emphasizing the desire for socially adept behavior.
