They Might Be Giants
How Can I Sing Like a Girl?
[Verse 1]
Birds are calling to sing along
But my window's painted shut
And all that year of chorus taught me
Is out of style and long forgot
[Chorus]
How can I sing like a girl
And not be stigmatized by the rest of the world?
Tell me how can I sing like a girl
And not be objectified, as if I were a girl?
[Bridge]
I want to raise my freak flag
Higher and higher and
I want to raise my freak flag
And never be alone, never be alone
[Verse 2]
From the watchtowers I've been spotted
Fingers pointing at my mouth
Spotlights turn and pivot towards me
But I dare not make a sound
[Chorus]
How can I sing like a girl
And not be stigmatized by the rest of the world?
Tell me how can I sing like a girl
And not be objectified as if I were a girl?
[Post-Chorus]
I want to raise my freak flag
Higher and higher and
I want to raise my freak flag
And never be alone, never be alone
[Chorus]
How can I sing like a girl
And not be stigmatized by the rest of the world?
Tell me how can I sing like a girl
And not be objectified, as if I were a girl?
[Outro]
How can I sing like a girl?
How can I sing like a girl?
How can I sing like a girl?
How can I sing like a girl?
