View chords used in this chart
D G
Got a man, call him my boyfriend, think I've fallen in love
D G
The only man that gives me the things that I am worthy of
D G
Hugs me and holds me, kisses me softly, calls me back right away
D G
He communicates his feelings to me and cares what I have to say
He says
 
D
"Baby, I love you, baby, I need you
G
Never gonna let you go"
 
D G
Writes me love notes, takes me shopping and to Broadway shows
D G
Talk to him like he is a girlfriend, slumber party every night
D G
I've never felt so happy before, he's almost Mr. Right
Bm A
But I think he's hot and I think he's sweet
D G
And I think he's gay and I think he's neat
Bm A
Okay, okay, so my boyfriend's gay
G A
But what does it matter anyway?
 
G A
He hasn't come out of the closet yet
D G
'Til then, I'll take all that I can get
 
(2,3,4)
G A
But he doesn't think I know
D G
But I know, I know, I've always known
G A
If he doesn't think it shows
D G
But it shows, for sure, it's always shown
Em
You might think it's a little sad
G A
But he's the best lover that I've ever had
 
G A
At night, when we're lying in bed
D G
He's not hard, it's okay, 'cause he gives me head
G A
Like my mom always says
D G
"It takes more than a pound to be good in bed"
Em
You don't know the meaning of "rock your world"
G A
'Til you've been with a guy who thinks like a girl
 
D G
He lies and says he's on meds, that's why he's never stiff
D G
When I ask if he's not into me, he always says, "As if!"
D G
But the way he makes up for his shortcomings just could not be finer
D G
'Cause my new best friend is his tongue and his is my vagina
D G
He reappears from under the covers, looking like he's been to war
D G
He’s drenched in sweat, catches his breath, and heads down back for more
D G
After that, he's never tired, he just wants to talk
D G
And cuddle me until I sleep, then takes his dog for a walk
 
Bm A D G
Someday he'll come out and I'll be happy for him when he does
Bm A D G
And I know I'll be sad and I’ll be thinking of what was
Bm A D G
Someday this fairy tale will come to an end
Bm A
'Cause his fairy tale will find a like-minded friend
 
G A
But he doesn't think I know
D G
But I know, I know, I've always known
G A
If he doesn't think it shows
D G
But it shows, for sure, it's always shown
Em
You don't need no penetration
G A
When you got a good dose of overcompensation
 
G A
At night, when we're lying in bed
D G
He's not hard, it's okay, 'cause he gives me head
G A
Like my mom always says
D G
"It takes more than a pound to be good in bed"
Em
You don't know the meaning of slot machine
G A
'Til you've been with a king who thinks like a queen
 
Bm A
I know it's not forever, but that's okay
Bm
'Cause I'm his girlfriend,
G D
and he's my gay
