Gm             A7aug         Dm
 You should be stronger than me,
Gm             A7aug       Dm
 You been here seven years longer than me.
Gm                      A7aug            Dm
 Don't you know you're 'sposed to be the man?
Gm               A7aug      Dm
 Not pale in com-parison to who you think I am.

                 Gm              A7aug     Dm
You always wanna talk it through;  I don't care!
                 Gm          A7aug       Dm
I always have to comfort you,   when I'm there.
           Gm                 A7aug      Dm
But that's what I need you to do; stroke my hair.

 You should be stronger than me,

 But instead you're longer than frozen turkey.
Gm                A7aug         Dm
 Why'd you always put me in con-trol?
Gm             A7aug         Dm
 All I need is for my man to live up to his role.

             Gm              A7aug    Dm
Always wanna talk it through;   I'm O-K.
               Gm          A7aug    Dm
Always have to comfort you,   every day.
           Gm                 A7aug       Dm
But that's what I need you to do; are you gay?

He said; "the respect I made you earn,
Gm               A7aug   Dm
 Thought you had so many lessons to learn".
         Gm                  A7aug          Dm
I said; "you don't know what love is; get a grip!
Gm                   A7aug             Dm
 Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script".

              Gm               A7aug  Dm
I'm not gonna meet your mother,   any-time.
             Gm             A7aug  Dm
I just wanna grip your body,  over mine.
       Gm              A7aug          Dm
Please tell me why you think that's a crime.

Chorus 3:

     F6                    G9

 Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy.
