What Did You Drag Me Into? Lyrics

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Picture this, an American scene

Lost in the cover of a magazine

Bible belt baby wanna be a queen

Lord Momma tried to keep her little boy clean

She found him with her high heels on

A two-foot train of green chiffon

That messy lip was overdrawn

It was shocking and obscene

Momma knows she's been blessed

And she's always done her best

To cheer her little angel on

No matter how he's dressed

Now her baby boy is grown

On stage in wigs and silicone

After the show she's crying

Child what did you drag me into

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Imagine this, it's Christmas Eve

Time for the church nativity

Papa's in the front row trying to see

Rubs his eyes 'cause he can't believe

Mary, Mary, mother mild

Is played by a familiar child

His son is walking down the aisle

To a virgin shall conceive

Papa takes most things in stride

And he works hard to provide

He likes tradition and when gender roles

Are clear and codified

So he'll never understand

Why his son is not a man

All that he can say is

Boy, what did you drag me into

I was baptized at the age of twelve

Under the water I came under a spell

I heard the holy ghost in the chlorine, she said

Girl you better go make a hell of a scene

Yeah

Girl you better go now

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Momma, why you melting down

Some babies show up with a crown

And nothing you can say or do

Is gonna turn that shimmer down

There ain't no need to be ashamed

But if you want someone to blame

Look up to heaven and cry

Lord, what did you drag me into

Oh yeah

What did you drag me into

What did you drag me into

What did you drag me into

What did you drag me into

What did you drag me into

What did you drag me into
