Shania Twang or Reinventing Natty Bumppo Lyrics

I had long hair when I was growing up

And people would call me a girl as an insult

The real mean kids they'd call me Natalie

Sticks and stones may break bones, but words traumatized me

And as I started to explore my femininity

The insults started coming more regularly

They'd call me a faggot and say "you're not a girl,

You've got a dick between your legs and a y chromosome"

But it's alright to tell me, what you think about me

And this sudden fear has got me trembling

Man, I feel like a woman

So I looked up how big your dick needs to be

To call yourself a man, I mean anatomically

'Cause mine's kind of small and the joke when you're young

Is that you're not a real man unless you're fucking hung

The answer seems to depend on who you ask

Because bigots often have conflicting opinions

Like "love your neighbor as yourself"

Next to "god hates fags" and "no one deserves a hand out"

But you can be almost anything, when you're on your fucking knees

Watching and waiting, commiserating

Man, I feel like a woman

My step-dad he called me a weirdo that wears dresses

And while that's pretty much true, he was being malicious

So I texted my mom when I came out as trans

I said "if he calls me that again, I'll fucking kill him"

And I wasn't welcome in their house before I sent that text

But I needed them to know there are consequences

For the shitty things you say and the way you act

I needed them to know, that this faggot bashes back

Because the best thing about being a woman

Is the prerogative to have a little fun

Oh, woh, oh, oh, beat the shit out of transphobes

You can break their nose

No one'll care, it's what they what they deserve

Oh, woh, oh, oh, and I just want be free to feel the way I feel

Man, I feel like a woman
